This guide explains how to create and deploy a Spring Boot web server.
To run this example, follow these steps:

1. Install the CLI.
   Use the [unikraft CLI](/cli/unikraft) or the legacy [kraft CLI](https://unikraft.org/docs/cli/install).
   You need a [BuildKit](https://github.com/moby/buildkit) builder. The easiest way to get one is via [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).
   Alternatively, you can also directly set up and use BuildKit, see the [quick start](https://github.com/moby/buildkit#quick-start).

   :::note
   The unikraft CLI is the current standard, while kraft is the legacy version.
   Choose one of the CLIs below and only run the commands associated with it for the rest of this guide.
   :::

2. Clone the [`examples` repository](https://github.com/unikraft-cloud/examples) and `cd` into the `examples/httpserver-java17-springboot/` directory:

   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/unikraft-cloud/examples
   cd examples/httpserver-java17-springboot/
   ```

Make sure to log into Unikraft Cloud and pick a [metro](/platform/metros) close to you.
This guide uses `fra` (Frankfurt, 🇩🇪):

<CodeTabs syncKey="cli">

```bash title="unikraft"
unikraft login
```

```bash title="kraft"
# Set Unikraft Cloud access token
export UKC_TOKEN=token
# Set metro to Frankfurt, DE
export UKC_METRO=fra
```

</CodeTabs>

When done, invoke the following command to deploy this app on Unikraft Cloud:

<CodeTabs syncKey="cli">

```bash title="unikraft"
unikraft build . --output <my-org>/httpserver-java17-springboot:latest
unikraft run --metro fra \
  -m 1G \
  -p 443:8080/tls+http \
  --scale-to-zero policy=idle,cooldown-time=1000,stateful=true \
  --image <my-org>/httpserver-java17-springboot:latest
```

```bash title="kraft"
kraft cloud deploy \
  -M 1Gi \
  -p 443:8080/tls+http \
  --scale-to-zero idle \
  --scale-to-zero-stateful \
  --scale-to-zero-cooldown 1s \
  .
```

</CodeTabs>

The output shows the instance address and other details:

In this case, the instance name is `httpserver-java17-springboot-qseeo` and the address is `https://long-dust-si7xsngk.fra.unikraft.app`.
They're different for each run.

Use `curl` to query the Spring Boot server's `hello` endpoint:

```bash
curl https://long-dust-si7xsngk.fra.unikraft.app/hello
```

```text
Hello World!
```

When done, you can remove the instance:

<CodeTabs syncKey="cli">

```bash title="unikraft"
unikraft instances delete httpserver-java17-springboot-qseeo
```

```bash title="kraft"
kraft cloud instance remove httpserver-java17-springboot-qseeo
```

</CodeTabs>

## Customize your app

To customize the app, update the files in the repository, listed below:

* `DemoApplication.java`: the server
* `Kraftfile`: the Unikraft Cloud specification
* `Dockerfile`: the Docker-specified app filesystem

Lines in the `Kraftfile` have the following roles:

* `spec: v0.7`: The current `Kraftfile` specification version is `0.7`.

* `runtime: base-compat:latest`: The runtime kernel to use is the base compatibility kernel.

* `rootfs`: Build the app root filesystem.
  `source: ./Dockerfile` means the filesystem is built using the `Dockerfile`.
  `format: erofs` means the filesystem type is [EROFS](https://erofs.docs.kernel.org/).

* `cmd: ["/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64/bin/java", "-jar", "/usr/src/demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar"]`: Use as the starting command of the instance.

Lines in the `Dockerfile` have the following roles:

* `FROM scratch`: Build the filesystem from the [`scratch` container image](https://hub.docker.com/_/scratch/), to [create a base image](https://docs.docker.com/build/building/base-images/).

* `COPY DemoApplication.java src/main/java/com/example/demo/`: Copy the server implementation file in the Docker filesystem.

The following options are available for customizing the app:

* If you only update the implementation in the `DemoApplication.java` source file, you don't need to make any other changes.

* If you create any new source files, copy them into the app filesystem by using the `COPY` command in the `Dockerfile`.

* More extensive changes may require extending the `Dockerfile` ([see `Dockerfile` syntax reference](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/)).

You can list information about the instance by running:

```bash title="unikraft"
unikraft instances list
```

```bash title="kraft"
kraft cloud instance list
