Solution

To update to the latest JBoss Web Server 5.6.1 for OpenShift image on UBI8, perform the following steps to pull in the content:

1. On your master host(s), ensure that you are logged in to the command line interface as a cluster administrator or user who has project administrator access to the global "openshift" project:

$ oc login -u system:admin

2. Run the following command to import the templates:

$ for resource in jws56-openjdk11-tomcat9-ubi8-basic-s2i.json \ jws56-openjdk11-tomcat9-ubi8-https-s2i.json \ jws56-openjdk11-tomcat9-ubi8-image-stream.json \ jws56-openjdk8-tomcat9-ubi8-basic-s2i.json \ jws56-openjdk8-tomcat9-ubi8-https-s2i.json \ jws56-openjdk8-tomcat9-ubi8-image-stream.json do oc replace -n openshift --force -f \ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jboss-container-images/jboss-webserver-5-openshift-image/jws56el8-v5.6.1/templates/${resource} done

3. Depending on the OpenJDK version, run either of the following commands to update the core JBoss Web Server 5.6 tomcat 9 OpenShift image stream in the "openshift" project:

• For OpenJDK 8:

To update the core JBoss Web Server 5.6 tomcat 9 with OpenJDK 8 OpenShift image, run the following command:

$ oc -n openshift import-image jboss-webserver56-openjdk8-tomcat9-openshift-ubi8:5.6.1

• For OpenJDK 11:
