How to add external / third party library .jars to pods?

[polsson12]

In a multi node kubernetes cluster environment with terraform deployment, how do you add external java library jars to the pods and update the corresponding xml-config?

It's pretty well outlined here in the docs how you do it manually if you have access to the machines, i.e.,

Steps:

1. Add library jars to /opt/jans/jetty/jans-auth/custom/libs/
2. Edit /opt/jans/jetty/jans-auth/webapps/jans-auth.xml and add the following line replacing the word library-name with the actual name of the library:
   <Set name="extraClasspath">/opt/jans/jetty/jans-auth/custom/libs/library-name.jar</Set>
3. Restart jans-auth service systemctl restart jans-auth

But how do you achieve the same with in an automated CI/CD deployment pipeline deploying to a multi node kubernetes cluster with terraform?

Thanks!

Hi!

You can find it well-documented here.

The above link explains how to add custom jars in the context of Janssen Cloud-Native/K8s deployment.
