将 Docker Sqlite 容器连接到 Java

Question

I just can't find the correct information on the web.

I plan to run sqlite with Docker so that the information can be persisted to a local volume. My Dockerfile is

FROM alpine:3.14
RUN apk add --update sqlite
RUN mkdir /db
WORKDIR /db
ENTRYPOINT ["sqlite3"]
CMD ["mydb.db"]

docker run -p 5000:5000 -v `passwd`:/db my-sqlite mydb.db

How do I mount this to a volume, so that data is persisted to the disk? Now I need the connection string - to connect from a Java project. What will this be ? I want to load up data from this db on starting the program, how would this be done?

Answer 1

You're having a big misconception about sqlite. Sqlite is an embedded database - that means it doesn't need a server to run but rather runs in the application.

Therefore you need to mount the *.db file into your application's container and use the JDBC driver of sqlite in order to use the database.

As far as I know, sqlite doesn't even support any sort of remote connection because that's not what it was made for.
