How to install tomcat into docker

Docker is a lightweight container virtualization platform that can help us run and deploy applications more conveniently. Tomcat is a widely used Java Web application server that supports HTTP protocol and other protocols, and can be used to execute a variety of Java Web technologies such as Servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP). This article will introduce how to install Tomcat into Docker.

Installing Docker

First, we need to install Docker. We can download Docker from the official website and install it according to the installation instructions.

Installing Tomcat

Next, we need to install Tomcat. We can download the Tomcat installation package from the Tomcat official website or download the Tomcat Docker image directly from Docker Hub. If you downloaded the installation package, you need the following steps to install it:

1. Download the Tomcat installation package and extract it to the specified directory;
2. Configure environment variables and add the Tomcat installation directory PATH environment variable;
3. Start Tomcat and execute the startup.sh/bat script.

If you downloaded the Docker image, you can directly run the following command to download and run Tomcat:

docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 tomcat:latest

This command will download the latest version of the Tomcat image, run the container, and Port 8080 in the container is mapped to port 8080 on the host. At this point, you can access Tomcat's default page by accessing http://localhost:8080. If you need to customize some configuration, you can use Dockerfile or docker-compose to configure it.

Using Tomcat

After Tomcat installation is complete, you can use the following command to manage the Tomcat container:

1. Start the container: docker start <container_name></container_name>
2. Stop the container: docker stop <container_name></container_name>
3. Restart the container: docker restart <container_name></container_name>
4. Enter the container: docker exec -it <container_name> /bin/sh</container_name>, you can use this command to enter the container to execute commands.

If you need to access the files in the Tomcat container, you can use the following command to mount the files on the host body into the container:

docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 -v /path/to/host/directory:/path/to/container/directory tomcat:latest

This command will mount the directory / on the host path/to/host/directory to the container's directory /path/to/container/directory.
