Accessing Host Java from Docker container

Question

I have Java installed in my docker host. Now I want that to be able to my docker containers. I don\'t want to install again on the containers. Do we have any workaround for that

Answer 1

Well it defeat the purpose of using Docker that is to decouple your container from the host.

If you are looking for a workaround you can probably just mount your Java host installation directory in you container but is better to use the same OS both in the container and in the host

I think is a not worth it and you don't have to "install" Java just start from an Image (or create one yourself) that already contains Java, with open jdk is pretty simple.
