Spring Boot base Docker image - good idea? [closed]

Question

recently some peers had the idea of creating a Spring Boot base Docker image. The reasoning is that way they could control the version, perform updates for security, etc.

Is it a good idea? Is there already a good, updated image you would suggest? I searched on dockerhub and didn't see one that's updated.

Thanks!

This is a philosophical question

Answer 1

There is none because this doesn't make sense, Spring Boot is an application framework, you cannot package it into a docker image as the framework itself isn't runnable. You can package an application built on top of Spring Boot in a docker image though. But how would you use that as a base for other images?
