Docker

You can run JReleaser as a docker image, skipping the need to have a pre-installed Java runtime. You must mount the working directory at the /workspace volume, for example assuming the current directory is the starting point:

docker run -it --rm -v `(pwd)`:/workspace \
  jreleaser/<image>:<tag> <command> [<args>]

Where image may be jreleaser-slim, jreleaser-alpine.

The jreleaser command will be automatically executed inside /workspace.

You may also need to map environment variables to the container, such as JRELEASER_PROJECT_VERSION, JRELEASER_GITHUB_TOKEN, or others depending on your setup. Refer to the Reference pages.

You can find the tag listing here.
