Docker installs Tomcat

Method one, built by Dockerfile

Create Dockerfile

First, create a directory, tomcat, to store the relevant things that follow.

w3cschool@w3cschool:~$ mkdir -p ~/tomcat/webapps ~/tomcat/logs ~/tomcat/conf

The webapps directory maps to the application directory configured by the tomcat container

The logs directory is mapped to the log directory of the tomcat container

The profile in the conf directory is mapped to the profile of the tomcat container

Go to the tomacat directory you created and create Dockerfile

Create a mirror with Dockerfile and replace it with your own name

w3cschool@w3cschool:~/tomcat$ docker build -t tomcat .

Once the creation is complete, we can find the image we just created in the local mirror list

w3cschool@w3cschool:~/tomcat$ docker images|grep tomcat
tomcat              latest              70f819d3d2d9        7 days ago          335.8 MB

Method two, docker pull tomcat

Find the tomcat image on Docker Hub

Here we pull the official mirror image

w3cschool@w3cschool:~/tomcat$ docker pull tomcat

After waiting for the download to complete, we can find THESITORY as tomcat's image in the local mirror list.


Use tomcat mirroring

Run the container

w3cschool@w3cschool:~/tomcat$ docker run --name tomcat -p 8080:8080 -v $PWD/test:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/test -d tomcat  
acb33fcb4beb8d7f1ebace6f50f5fc204b1dbe9d524881267aa715c61cf75320
w3cschool@w3cschool:~/tomcat$

Command Description:

-p 8080:8080: Map the container's 8080 port to the host's 8080 port

-$PWD/test:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/test: Mount test from the current directory in the host to the container's /test

View how the container started
