Hi, FYI customizing Docker is indeed possible up to a certain extent, but it requires some Docker skills, of course.
Moreover, building the Maven project generated from archetype and deploying to an external Java EE container, with a real database is ordinary stuff. If you still have troubles with that, I'd suggest to try again. Regards.
