How do I attach VisualVM to a simple Java process running in a Docker container

Question

Actually I wanted a solution working for JEE containers, specifically for Glassfish, but after I tried many combinations of settings and did not succeed, I reduced the setup

Answer 1

Thanks to all of you for routing me to the right direction. Finally I got it working in more complex config: Kubernetes via Docker Desktop under Windows 10 on local machine.

My app's config:

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.local.only=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=30491
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port=30491
-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=localhost

Pod's port:

ports:
- name: jmx
  containerPort: 30491
  protocol: TCP

Service's port:

ports:
- name: jmx
  nodePort: 30491
  port: 9010
  protocol: TCP
  targetPort: jmx
