# What is Wildfly?
> [Wildfly](http://wildfly.org), formerly known as JBoss AS, or simply JBoss, is an application server authored by JBoss, now developed by Red Hat. WildFly is written in Java, and implements the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) specification.
# TLDR
```bash
docker run --name wildfly bitnami/wildfly
```
## Docker Compose
```
wildfly:
image: bitnami/wildfly
```
# Get this image
The recommended way to get the Bitnami wildfly Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the [Docker Hub Registry](https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/wildfly).
```bash
docker pull bitnami/wildfly:latest
```
To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the [list of available versions](https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/wildfly/tags/) in the Docker Hub Registry.
```bash
docker pull bitnami/wildfly:[TAG]
```
If you wish, you can also build the image yourself.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-wildfly.git
cd bitnami-docker-wildfly
docker build -t bitnami/wildfly .
```
# Deploying web applications on Wildfly
This Wildfly image exposes a volume at `/app`. This path acts as the Wildfly deployments directory. At this location, you either copy a so-called *exploded web application*, i.e non-compressed or a compressed web application resource `.WAR` file and it will automatically be deployed by Wildfly at startup.
**Note!**
You can also deploy web applications on a running Wildfly instance.
```bash
docker run -v /path/to/app:/app bitnami/wildfly
```
or using Docker Compose:
```
wildfly:
image: bitnami/wildfly
volumes:
- /path/to/app:/app
```
# Accessing your Wildfly server from the host
The image exposes the application server on port `8080` and the management console on port `9990`. To access your web server from your host machine you can ask Docker to map random ports on your host to the ports `8080` and `9990` of the container.
```bash
docker run --name wildfly -P bitnami/wildfly
```
Run `docker port` to determine the random ports Docker assigned.
```bash
$ docker port wildfly
8080/tcp -> 0.0.0.0:32775
9990/tcp -> 0.0.0.0:32774
```
You can also manually specify the ports you want forwarded from your host to the container.
```bash
docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 9990:9990 bitnami/wildfly
```
Access your web server in the browser by navigating to [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080/) to access the application server and [http://localhost:9990](http://localhost:9990/) to access the management console.
# Configuration
## Setting the `manager` password on first run
By default, the `manager` user is assigned the password `wildfly`. To secure your Wildfly server you should specify a different password for this user. Passing the `WILDFLY_PASSWORD` environment variable when running the image for the first time will set the password of the `manager` user to the value of `WILDFLY_PASSWORD`.
```bash
docker run --name wildfly -e WILDFLY_PASSWORD=password123 bitnami/wildfly
```
or using Docker Compose:
```
wildfly:
image: bitnami/wildfly
environment:
- WILDFLY_PASSWORD=password123
```
## Configuration files
This image looks for Wildfly configuration files in `/bitnami/wildfly/conf`. You can mount a volume at this location with your own configurations, or the default configurations will be copied to your volume if it is empty.
### Step 1: Run the Wildfly image
Run the Wildfly image, mounting a directory from your host.
```bash
docker run --name wildfly -v /path/to/wildfly/conf:/bitnami/wildfly/conf bitnami/wildfly
```
or using Docker Compose:
```
wildfly:
image: bitnami/wildfly
volumes:
- /path/to/wildfly/conf:/bitnami/wildfly/conf
```
### Step 2: Edit the configuration
Edit the configurations on your host using your favorite editor.
### Step 3: Restart Wildfly
After changing the configuration, restart your Wildfly container for the changes to take effect.
```bash
docker restart wildfly
```
or using Docker Compose:
```bash
docker-compose restart wildfly
```

# Logging
The Bitnami Wildfly Docker Image supports two different logging modes: logging to stdout, and logging to a file.
## Logging to stdout
The default behavior is to log to stdout, as Docker expects. These will be collected by Docker, converted to JSON and stored in the host, to be accessible via the `docker logs` command.
```bash
docker logs wildfly
```
or using Docker Compose:
```bash
docker-compose logs wildfly
```
This method of logging has the downside of not being easy to manage. Without an easy way to rotate logs, they could grow exponentially and take up large amounts of disk space on your host.
## Logging to file
To log to file, run the Wildfly image, mounting a directory from your host at `/bitnami/wildfly/logs`. This will instruct the container to send logs to your directory.
```bash
docker run --name wildfly -v /path/to/wildfly/logs:/bitnami/wildfly/logs bitnami/wildfly
```
or using Docker Compose:
```
wildfly:
image: bitnami/wildfly
volumes:
- /path/to/wildfly/logs:/bitnami/wildfly/logs
```
To perform operations (e.g. logrotate) on the logs, mount the same directory in a container designed to operate on log files, such as logstash.
# Maintenance
## Backing up your container
To backup your configuration and logs, follow these simple steps:
### Step 1: Stop the currently running container
```bash
docker stop wildfly
```
or using Docker Compose:
```bash
docker-compose stop wildfly
```
### Step 2: Run the backup command
We need to mount two volumes in a container we will use to create the backup: a directory on your host to store the backup in, and the volumes from the container we just stopped so we can access the data.
```bash
docker run --rm -v /path/to/backups:/backups --volumes-from wildfly busybox \
cp -a /bitnami/wildfly /backups/latest
```
or using Docker Compose:
```bash
docker run --rm -v /path/to/backups:/backups --volumes-from `docker-compose ps -q wildfly` busybox \
cp -a /bitnami/wildfly /backups/latest
```
**Note!**
If you only need to backup configuration, you can change the first argument to `cp` to `/bitnami/wildfly/conf`.
## Restoring a backup
Restoring a backup is as simple as mounting the backup as volumes in the container.
```bash
docker run -v /path/to/backups/latest/conf:/bitnami/wildfly/conf \
-v /path/to/backups/latest/logs:/bitnami/wildfly/logs \
bitnami/wildfly
```
or using Docker Compose:
```
wildfly:
image: bitnami/wildfly
volumes:
- /path/to/backups/latest/conf:/bitnami/wildfly/conf
- /path/to/backups/latest/logs:/bitnami/wildfly/logs
```
## Upgrade this image
Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of Wildfly, including security patches, soon after they are made upstream. We recommend that you follow these steps to upgrade your container.
### Step 1: Get the updated image
```bash
docker pull bitnami/wildfly:latest
```
or if you're using Docker Compose, update the value of the image property to
`bitnami/wildfly:latest`.
### Step 2: Stop and backup the currently running container
Before continuing, you should backup your container's configuration and logs.
Follow the steps on [creating a backup](#backing-up-your-container).
### Step 3: Remove the currently running container
```bash
docker rm -v wildfly
```
or using Docker Compose:
```bash
docker-compose rm -v wildfly
```
### Step 4: Run the new image
Re-create your container from the new image, [restoring your backup](#restoring-a-backup) if necessary.
```bash
docker run --name wildfly bitnami/wildfly:latest
```
or using Docker Compose:
```bash
docker-compose start wildfly
```
