Payara Server is a fork of famous open-source application server i.e. GlassFish Server. Payara Server was created in year 2014, as a drop in replacement for GlassFish after Oracle announced to discontinue commercial support for GlassFish. Payara server is sponsored by Payara Services Ltd since April 2016. Payara Server 5.1 is the latest release of this project.
In this article, we will install Payara Server 5.1 on CentOS 7 and deploy a Java App on Payara Server.
Table of Contents:
- System Specification
- Installing OpenJDK 8 on CentOS 7
- Installing Payara Server 5.1 on CentOS 7
- Deploy a Java App in Payara Server 5.1
System Specification:
We have provisioned a CentOS 7 virtual machine on CentOS 7.
- Hostname - payara-01.example.com
- IP Address - 192.168.116.169 /24
- Operating System - CentOS 7.6
- Payara Server - 5.1
Installing OpenJDK 8 on CentOS 7:
Connect with payara-01.example.com using ssh as root user.
Payara Server is a Java based application server and it requires JRE (Java Runtime Environment). Therefore, we are installing OpenJDK using yum command.

Payara server uses following Service ports.
4848 - Administration Console
8080 - HTTP Service
8181 - HTTPS Service
Allow above service ports in Linux firewall.
[root@payara-01 tmp]# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port={4848,8080,8181}/tcp
success
[root@payara-01 tmp]# firewall-cmd --reload
success
Browse URL http://payara-01.example.com:8080 using a client's browser.
Payara Server 5.1 is installed and running on designated port.
Add Payara server binaries to PATH environment variable.
[root@payara-01 tmp]# sed -i 's/^PATH=*/PATH=\/opt\/payara5\/bin:/g' ~/.bash_profile
[root@payara-01 tmp]# . ~/.bash_profile
Set password for Payara Server 5.1 Admin user.
[root@payara-01 tmp]# asadmin --port 4848 change-admin-password
Enter admin user name [default: admin]>Enter the admin password>
Enter the new admin password>
Enter the new admin password again>
Command change-admin-password executed successfully.
By default, Payara Server Admin Console is running as a clear text HTTP service. Run following command to enable secure administration console.
[root@payara-01 tmp]# asadmin --host payara-01.example.com --port 4848 enable-secure-admin
Enter admin user name> admin
Enter admin password for user "admin">
You must restart all running servers for the change in secure admin to take effect.
Command enable-secure-admin executed successfully.
Restart payara.service.
[root@payara-01 tmp]# systemctl restart payara.service
Browse URL https://payara-01.example.com:4848 using a client's browser. You may encounter a security certificate warning; just ignore it and continue.
Login with admin user and password.
We are at the dashboard of Payara Server Administration Console.
Deploy a Java App in Payara Server 5.1:
There are many Java applications available on GitHub. We are also downloading a Simple Java App. Although this Java App is for the demonstration purpose of BoxFuse, however we can use it for testing purpose of Payara Server as well.
But first, we need git to clone the project and Apache Maven to compile and build the project. Therefore, we are installing both of these tools using yum command.
[root@payara-01 ~]# yum install -y git maven
