Hi here, is there a possibility to run a program on docker ? Do I have to get a specific distribution of linux ? Debian (glibc) ? Do I have to get an openJDK ? Cheers, Arnaud ---

@arnaud22 dl4j and its dependencies are just a library. You would have to assemble it yourself. Generally people do this via an uber jar and the maven-shade plugin. Our maven project template shows how to do this out of the box: > For distribution, just note in the newer version we will be switching the compatibility to be ubuntu 18 and above. If you need older (centos 6) we will be publishing a compat library. You can see the context behind the recent discussion for that here: > > > \#### Issue Description > > While trying to upgrade from 1.0.0-beta7 to M1, we hit… the following issue on our CI server: > > \`\`\` > Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /var/lib/jenkins/.javacpp/cache/nd4j-native-1.0.0-M1-linux-x86\_64.jar/org/nd4j/nativeblas/linux-x86\_64/libjnind4jcpu.so: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version \`CXXABI\_1.3.8' not found (required by /var/lib/jenkins/.javacpp/cache/nd4j-native-1.0.0-M1-linux-x86\_64.jar/org/nd4j/nativeblas/linux-x86\_64/libjnind4jcpu.so) > \`\`\` > > It appears as if the milestone release used a different (newer) g++ compiler version than the previous beta versions to build the some native libraries, which makes it incompatible with hosts running older Linux versions (e.g. CentOS 7). > > Was this an intentional breaking change? > > \#### Version Information > > Please indicate relevant versions, including, if relevant: > > \* Deeplearning4j version: 1.0.0-M1 > \* Platform information: CentOS 7 For openjdk, I would recommend java 8 or 11.

Yes, it is. As @agibsonccc already mentioned, you need to use uber-JAR and maven-shade plugin. For building the JAR I use the command `clean install -Djavacpp.platform=linux-x86_64 -f pom.xml`. In order to build a JAR with a specific classifier you could also use maven profiles. As a base docker image I use `openjdk:16-jdk-slim-buster`. As an entry point you simply provide a standard `java -jar` command pointing to your uber-JAR - just as you would do this from the command line. ---

@agibsonccc Thx for your quick response. In our project we don’t use maven shade plugin but we use spring-boot-maven-plugin is this problem ? I’m trying to find why i have some non-heap memory leak with 1.0.0-beta7 Do i have to get a specific distribution to avoid that ? May i give you some information to solve this problem ?

@arnaud22 yes please go ahead. I’ll DM you so nothing proprietary is public.
