how to deploy Spring boot application in IIS

Question

I have a Spring boot application, If I want to run that application locally we can run with spring-boot:run Or by just executing the main class our project is ready to work. But here I want to deploy the same on IIS Server.

I have an angular app, by just adding the path and running ng build --prod is sufficient to run in the IIS but when coming to java I am confused to run the application in IIS.

I dont think so it will work with spring-boot:run as it is using internal tomcat server, But in the IIS how do we need to deploy this application.

Answer 1

It is a java based application so it is not recommended to deploy in iis.you could use a docker container to run the application and then use a reverse proxy to redirect the request to that API.
