Thanks to mhamrah@github who's work in the following project helped a lot. https://github.com/mhamrah/akka-docker-cluster-example
- Get the server to connect to the cluster and ask the cluster to do some work
- Get all of this working in Kubernetes
- If you are packaging the app inside docker rpm etc then you do not have to use the assembly plugin, the JavaAppPackager plugin will do the job, it creates a launch script in bin/ your jar and dep jars in lib/
