1. Clone the project

git clone https://github.com/zeroturnaround/petclinic.git
cd petclinic

2. Build application artifact

mvn clean package

3. Build a new Docker image based on the Dockerfile

docker build -t waspet .

4. Run the application

docker run -d -p 9043:9043 -p 9443:9443 -v `pwd`:/tmp/petclinic -v ~/.jrebel:/home/was/.jrebel waspet

It takes a while for the application server to start. Follow the logs to track the status:

docker logs --follow <container id>

Once the application server has started, you will see the following message in the log:

WSVR0001I: Server server1 open for e-business

The application is now accessible at https://localhost:9443/petclinic

5. Now you can open the project in your beloved IDE, make changes to the code and see JRebel reloading the app on-the-fly

NB! The path in rebel.xml must match the directory that was mapped via command line (/tmp/petclinic)
