Docker, Java and the LHC
summary
Claim: deploy Java apps in Docker at the LHC control centre while keeping sysadmins happy by removing bundled JREs, shrinking images and shifting patching responsibility to the host. Uses Docker volumes to mount host JRE via -v, builds tiny bases like Alpine or OpenWrt with no JRE, and keeps containers to ~2–3 MB versus typical ~200 MB, saving about 80 MB; proof-of-concept runs and reduces container patch surface and deployment time.
