Is there a good newbie tutorial for jboss under Fedora 23?

[John W. Himpel]

Good afternoon,

In the past, I have done JEE development in a corporate environment (I
was a developer not an admin) and am looking to start my own web site
using JBoss.

I have found several tutorials on installing JBoss, but most do not
assume Fedora packaging.  Would someone be so kind as to point me to a
tutorial (or HOWTO) on installing and starting JBoss on a recent
version of Fedora?

I'm assuming JBoss is the JEE server of choice in Fedora.  If it isn't,
what would be the JEE server of choice?

If this is the wrong list, please excuse my unfamiliarity.  Any
references to a possibly better list, would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, JBoss is not my area of expertise, but
wouldn't it be as simple as 

# dnf install wildfly

(Wildfly is the upstream project for the JBoss Application Server)

So,  While WildFly is
you best bet for a vanilla JBoss, many of the add 
on services are not packed with Wildfly, or use a later version of JBoss 
than is packaged with Fedora.  While JBoss and Fedora play nice with 
each other, they are very much separate communities, with JBoss keeping 
its Platform neutral stance.

The most common approach is to use the upstream Tarballs, unzip, and 
go.  This, of course, is not a complete solution.

I started writing an Ansible role for a KeyCloak (JBoss based Single 
Sign On Identity Provider) deployment.

https://github.com/admiyo/rippowam/tree/keycloack-wip/roles/keycloak

most of the interesting stuff is in the  tasks file

https://github.com/admiyo/rippowam/blob/keycloack-wip/roles/keycloak/task...

Some of the operations it performs:
Fetch and unzips the tarball, based on version specified in the vars file.
Creates a specific user for running keycloack
Creates appropriate directories under /var for the unzipped code as well 
as the logs.
Config is owned by root, readable by keycloak
firewalld setup. I want ports 8080 exposed to the rest of the 
appliction, but this is not a production install.
systemd setup.  See the template file here: 
https://github.com/admiyo/rippowam/blob/keycloack-wip/roles/keycloak/temp...




Not done:

SELinux
Apache setup:  port 443 to port 8080 proxying.
Certmonger for managing TLS certs.

Hi John.

I had the same issue, so I used an excellent tool called fpm. ( 
https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm ). I am aware of it fallacies.
Here is my wildfly-rpm project:

https://github.com/miracle-as/wildfly-rpm

You use it by calling:
make download package VERSION=9.0.1.Final

you can snoop the versions from either Wildflys github or the Wildfly 
download page.

It creates an rpm package which:
  - creates a wildly user
  - installs in /opt/miracle/wildfly
  - installs 3 systemd service called: wildfly-standalone, wildfly-domain 
and wildfly-standalone-debug

Packages are available from: https://xaas.dk/repo .

I hope this can be used as an inspiration.

Best regards
