Based on the documentation it is as simple as using the right build command:  
mvn clean package -Pdocker -Dbonita.environment=local

For reference: [the official documentation](https://documentation.bonitasoft.com/bonita/latest/getting-started/package-and-deploy-sca-application#_application_build)

Hope this helps,

I have just tried that, but the container refuses to start due to the BDM not being deployed.

The error message is “Unknown Business Object type ‘com.company.model.Claim’. Deploy a Business Data Model defining this type first.”

I have looked and it seems to be included in jar file being built by the maven

Ah, it must be run in the topmost folder of the project.

I cannot however see the claims application when accessing the server and login seems to fail but somehow still log users in.

and it was solved by installing the organization and setting up mappings to profiles.

See [Cannot login into Bonita (docker instance) with the users defined on the organization](http://community.ofelia.com/t/cannot-login-into-bonita-docker-instance-with-the-users-defined-on-the-organization/24034)
