Automate Spring Boot & Vue E‑Commerce Deployment with Jpom and Docker

In development or production environments, manually logging into servers to run deployment commands is cumbersome and error‑prone; an automated deployment solution like Jpom simplifies the process and reduces mistakes.

Jpom Introduction

Jpom is a lightweight automation deployment tool with over 8.5k+ stars on Gitee. It provides online builds, automatic deployment, routine operations, and project monitoring.

Mall Project Overview

The mall project is a SpringBoot3 + Vue e‑commerce system (60K GitHub stars) that supports multiple modules and the latest 2024 microservice architecture, deployed with Docker and Kubernetes. It includes a front‑end shop and a back‑end admin system covering products, orders, carts, permissions, coupons, members, payments, and more.

Installation

Jpom is most conveniently installed via Docker.

Download the Jpom image: docker pull jpomdocker/jpom Start the container:

docker run -p 2122:2122 --name jpom-server \
  -v /mydata/jpom-server/logs:/usr/local/jpom-server/logs \
  -v /mydata/jpom-server/data:/usr/local/jpom-server/data \
  -v /mydata/jpom-server/conf:/usr/local/jpom-server/conf \
  -d jpomdocker/jpom

After the container starts, Jpom runs on port 2122. Access the console at http://192.168.3.101:2122 and create a super‑admin account.

Automated Deployment

The following steps demonstrate Jpom’s automated deployment using the mall project as an example.

Preparation

Define the deployment flow:

From Gitee repo → Maven build → Docker image → SSH script execution

Add the repository URL https://gitee.com/macrozheng/mall to Jpom.

Add a Docker environment with remote API access enabled.

Set the workspace to the default value.

Add an SSH configuration and set the authorized directory to /mydata.

Project Build

In the build list, create a container build and tag it as local.

Configure the repository address for the mall project.

Set the build script for the mall-admin module; the artifact will be placed at /mall-admin/target/mall-admin-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar.

Configure the release step to use SSH and execute the script /mydata/sh/mall-admin.sh to start the mall-admin container.

The startup script for the mall project resides in the document/sh directory.

Summary

Today we used Jpom to automate the deployment of the mall project, demonstrating that Jpom is easier for Chinese developers than Jenkins while offering powerful features.
