The official Docker image for WireMock Standalone deployments. It includes WireMock for Java under the hood, and fully compatible with its features. You can learn more about WireMock standalone on the WireMock docs site.
In a temporary directory, checkout the demo repository, pull the Docker image, and start the WireMock instance.
docker pull wiremock/wiremock:latest
git clone https://github.com/wiremock/wiremock-docker.git
docker run -it --rm \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v $PWD/wiremock-docker/samples/hello/stubs:/home/wiremock \
wiremock/wiremock:latestYou will get a CLI output like this one:

There are multiple image tags provided for end users. These tags are available on DockerHub and GitHub Packages, see the full list here. The most important tags are listed below.

To start WireMock with the default settings:
docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 wiremock/wiremockBy default, the image exposes the 8080 port for HTTP.
To verify the WireMock state,
access http://localhost:8080/__admin/health to display the health status and the information.
The /__admin/health endpoint is available for WireMock 3.1.0 or above.
A HEALTHCHECK is also built into the docker image to allow direct querying of the docker container's health status. Under the hood, this uses the same method as above to verify the status of the container.
You can configure WireMock using the following ways:
- Passing the CLI arguments
- Passing Environment variables
- Passing configuration files via volumes
- Building a custom image using
wiremock/wiremockas a base image
To start with these WireMock arguments,
you can add them to the end of the command line.
For example, to enable HTTPs: --https-port 8443 --verbose
docker run -it --rm -p 8443.10443 wiremock/wiremock --https-port 8443 --verboseThe following environment variables are supported by the image:
uid: the container executor uid, useful to avoid file creation owned by rootJAVA_OPTS: for passing any custom options to Java e.g.-Xmx128mWIREMOCK_OPTIONS: CLI options to be passed to WireMock (starting from3.2.0-2).
Example for passing the CLI options:
docker run -it --rm \
-e WIREMOCK_OPTIONS='--https-port 8443 --verbose' \
-p 8443.10443 \
--name wiremock \
wiremock/wiremock:latestInside the container, the WireMock uses /home/wiremock as the root from which it reads the mappings and __files directories.
This means you can mount a directory containing these from your host machine into Docker and WireMock will load the stub mappings.
To mount the current directory use -v $PWD:/home/wiremock e.g.:
docker run -it --rm \
-p 8080:8080 \
--name wiremock \
-v $PWD:/home/wiremock \
wiremock/wiremock:{{ site.wiremock_version }}Inside the container, the WireMock uses /home/wiremock as the root from which it reads the mappings and __files directories.
This means you can copy your configuration from your host machine into Docker and WireMock will load the stub mappings.
WireMock utilizes a custom entrypoint script that passes all provided arguments as WireMock startup parameters. To modify the WireMock launch parameters it is recommended to override the entrypoint in your custom Docker image.
# Sample Dockerfile
FROM wiremock/wiremock:latest
COPY wiremock /home/wiremock
ENTRYPOINT ["/docker-entrypoint.sh", "--global-response-templating", "--disable-gzip", "--verbose"]You can use any WireMock extension with the Docker image. They can be added via CLI and volumes, but for most of the use-cases it is recommended to build a custom image by extending the official one.
For old style extensions (that don't have Java service loader metadata) you need to add the extension JAR file into the extensions directory and
specify the name of the extension's main class via the --extensions parameter:
# prepare extension folder
mkdir wiremock-docker/samples/random/extensions
# download extension
wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/opentable/wiremock-body-transformer/1.1.3/wiremock-body-transformer-1.1.3.jar \
-O wiremock-docker/samples/random/extensions/wiremock-body-transformer-1.1.3.jar
# run a container using extension
docker run -it --rm \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v $PWD/wiremock-docker/samples/random/stubs:/home/wiremock \
-v $PWD/wiremock-docker/samples/random/extensions:/var/wiremock/extensions \
wiremock/wiremock \
--extensions com.opentable.extension.BodyTransformerFor new style extensions the --extensions part should not be included as the extension will be discovered and loaded automatically:
# prepare extension folder
mkdir wiremock-docker/samples/random/extensions
# download extension
wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/wiremock/wiremock-grpc-extension-standalone/0.5.0/wiremock-grpc-extension-standalone-0.5.0.jar \
-O wiremock-docker/samples/random/extensions/wiremock-grpc-extension-standalone-0.5.0.jar
# run a container using extension
docker run -it --rm \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v $PWD/wiremock-docker/samples/random/stubs:/home/wiremock \
-v $PWD/wiremock-docker/samples/random/extensions:/var/wiremock/extensions \
wiremock/wiremockgit clone https://github.com/wiremock/wiremock-docker.git
docker build -t wiremock-random wiremock-docker/samples/random
docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 wiremock-randomAccess http://localhost:8080/random to show random number
For HTTPs, the 8443 port is exposed by default.
To run with HTTPs, run the following command:
docker run -it --rm -p 8443.10443 wiremock/wiremock --https-port 8443 --verboseTo check the HTTPs on the default exposed port, use https://localhost:8443/__admin to check HTTPs working.
In Record mode, when binding host folders (e.g. $PWD/test) with the container volume (/home/wiremock), the created files will be owned by root, which is, in most cases, undesired.
To avoid this, you can use the uid docker environment variable to also bind host uid with the container executor uid.
docker run -d --name wiremock-container \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v $PWD/test:/home/wiremock \
-e uid=$(id -u) \
wiremock/wiremock \
--proxy-all="http://registry.hub.docker.com" \
--record-mappings --verbose
curl http://localhost:8080
docker rm -f wiremock-containerCheck the created file owner with
ls -alR test
However, the example above is a facility. The good practice is to create yourself the binded folder with correct permissions and to use the -u docker argument.
mkdir test
docker run -d --name wiremock-container \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v $PWD/test:/home/wiremock \
-u $(id -u):$(id -g) \
wiremock/wiremock \
--proxy-all="http://registry.hub.docker.com" \
--record-mappings --verbose
curl http://localhost:8080
docker rm -f wiremock-containerCheck the created file owner with
ls -alR test
Configuration in compose file is similar to Dockerfile definition
# Sample compose file
version: "3"
services:
wiremock:
image: "wiremock/wiremock:latest"
container_name: my_wiremock
entrypoint: ["/docker-entrypoint.sh", "--global-response-templating", "--disable-gzip", "--verbose"]You can also mount your local __files and mappings files into the container e.g:
# Sample compose file
version: "3"
services:
wiremock:
image: "wiremock/wiremock:latest"
container_name: my_wiremock
volumes:
- ./__files:/home/wiremock/__files
- ./mappings:/home/wiremock/mappings
entrypoint: ["/docker-entrypoint.sh", "--global-response-templating", "--disable-gzip", "--verbose"]- WireMock modules for Testcontainers, based on this official image
