How to exec jar file from php script in docker












1















I have php, mysql, nginx in docker.
Now I have to run jar file with parameters from php script.



I've added java to my docker-compose.yml (part of docker-compose is below)



version: '3.2'
services:
php:
build: ./configs/php
restart: always
volumes:
- ./app/basic:/var/www/html
depends_on:
- db
- java

java:
image: openjdk:7


And I'm trying to execute the following part of code from php script:



$command = "java -jar '/var/www/html/jar/MyFile.jar' command"
exec($command, $output, $return);


I suspect, that exec simple cannot find where java is.
How to make it work?



Many thanks

          In docker the two containers run completely separate from each other, so when you use exec it will try to execute that command within your php container as opposed to in the java container. The only way to start a process in the other container is via a HTTP request where in the Java container an API is running which catches this call and executes the correct JAR accordingly.



          Another solution could be to use a bigger image for your php container which also includes java so you can execute the jar within your php container.



          I hope this answers your question, if anything is unclear please let me know.
