docker-compose build

You can choose the Liferay image (edition and version), the Elastic APM Java Agent version and add a comma separated list of application packages for Elastic APM agent:

docker-compose build \
--build-arg LIFERAY_IMAGE=liferay/dxp:7.3.10-ga1 \
--build-arg ELASTIC_APM_AGENT_VERSION=1.21.0 \
--build-arg ELASTIC_APM_APPLICATION_PACKAGES=com.example

In the example above, it will start Liferay DXP 7.3.10 GA1, install and attach Elastic APM Java Agent 1.21.0 and track com.liferay (always included by default in docker-compose.yml) and com.example.

docker-compose up -d
