Running Java with Airflow in a Docker Container on Mac: A Complete Guide

Are you facing challenges in running a Java .jar file using Airflow in a Docker container on your Mac? You're not alone! Many developers encounter similar issues, particularly when dealing with permission errors and mounting configurations in Docker. In this guide, we will explore your problem in depth and provide structured solutions to help you get Java up and running seamlessly with Airflow.

The Problem Statement

You want to execute a Java .jar file within an Apache Airflow environment that is encapsulated in a Docker container. You've attempted to install Java separately and even tried mounting your local JAVA_HOME to the container, but you're running into two primary issues:

Permission Denied Error: When attempting to check the Java version (java -version), the error returns "Permission denied".

Exec Format Error: Modifying your volume mount to include the Java binary directly leads to an "exec format error".

Troubleshooting the Issues

1. Understanding the Permission Denied Error

The permission error often arises when the Docker container runs under a specific user that does not have the right access levels to execute the mounted files. In your case, the Docker container for Airflow is running as the user airflow. This restriction can prevent necessary operations, such as executing the Java binary.

2. Running Docker as Root (Temporary Workaround)

As a quick fix for testing, you can temporarily run your container as the root user. Be cautious when using this approach, as it poses a security risk and should not be used in a production environment.

Here’s how you can modify your docker-compose.yaml:

3. Building Java into the Docker Image

Instead of mounting your local Java installation, a more stable solution is to incorporate Java directly into your Docker container. This approach ensures that all dependencies are bundled together and alleviates permission issues encountered with file mounts.

Here’s how to do this step-by-step:

Step 1: Modify Your docker-compose.yaml

Update your docker-compose.yaml to build the Airflow image from a Dockerfile:

Step 2: Create a Dockerfile

In the same directory as your docker-compose.yaml, create a Dockerfile with the following content:

4. Building and Starting Your Container

After configuring both the Docker Compose file and Dockerfile:

Build the Docker Image: Run the command docker-compose build in your terminal.

Start the Container: Use docker-compose up to launch the Airflow container with Java properly installed.

Conclusion

By understanding the underlying issues with permission errors and opting to build Java directly into your Docker container, you can effectively run your Java .jar files using Apache Airflow on your Mac. This solution not only solves the immediate challenge but also leads to a more portable and reliable setup.
