Simple HTTP Web Server in plain Java using

This is a simple web application which hosts a static web page at root endpoint. It's not using any popular java framework and is implemented by using JDK's com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer class.

How to Build?

gradle clean build

How to Run?

java -jar build/libs/simple-http-server-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Deploying to Kubernetes

I've prepared this repository for demo for Eclipse JKube Kubernetes Gradle Plugin k8sWatch task to demonstrate live reload upon changes. I've used minikube as kubernetes cluster for testing. You can start this via this command:

minikube start

Once minikube is up and running, you need to expose minikube's docker daemon to your local machine:

# To point your shell to minikube's docker-daemon, run:
eval $(minikube -p minikube docker-env)

You can then run Kubernetes Gradle Plugin tasks to build and deploy application:

gradle k8sBuild k8sResource k8sApply

Watching Application for changes and Automatic Updates

We'll use Kubernetes Gradle Plugin k8sWatch task for watching over the project in case we make any change. k8sWatch would automatically rebuild image and restart deployment whenever it detects a change in jar archive.

In one terminal window, run k8sWatch task:

gradle k8sWatch

Make some changes to the project and then compile project in another terminal window:

gradle build

You'll notice k8sWatch has detected changes and rebuild container image and restarted Deployment.
