Bundle reports with Jasperserver deployment

[matt_47]

I am currently deploying JasperReports server using the Bitnami docker file. I would like my deployment to be completely disposable, such that I can destroy and recreate it without having to re-export reports from Studio to Server.

Is there any way to bundle reports within the container to achieve this? I haven't been able to find any documentation indicating the location of uploaded reports, nor whether I can supply any that'll be loaded before Server execution. I could diff the backing db and file system before and after report export apply a patch in the docker entrypoint script, but I'd definitely prefer some supported, or sensible method so I don't cause myself pain down the line.

(I've actually asked this question on StackOverflow, also, if someone would like to accumulate double-meaningless-internet-bonus-points: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50472428/bundle-reports-with-jasperserver-deployment)

One way might be to containerize the jasperdb separate from the server image.  Then you could update the database container image by exporting/importing the latest db and then deploy both.
