I pulled official Docker image for Tomcat by running this command.
docker run -it --rm tomcat:8.0
By using this as base image I need to build new image that contains my war file in the tomcat
webapps
folder. I created Dockerfile like this.
From tomcat8
ADD warfile /usr/local/tomcat
When I run this Dockerfile by building image I am not able to see Tomcat front page.
Can anybody tell me how to add my warfile to official Tomcat images webapp folder.
Reading from the documentation of the repo you would do something like that
FROM tomcat
MAINTAINER xyz
ADD your.war /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/
CMD ["catalina.sh", "run"]
Then build your image with docker build -t yourName <path-to-dockerfile>
And run it with:
docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 yourName
--rm
removes the container as soon as you stop it-p
forwards the port to your host (or if you use boot2docker to this IP)-it
allows interactive mode, so you see if something get's deployed
I have one doubt.After running the image and when i check in tomcat webapps folder in ubuntu i dont see my war flile.But in browser when i enter into manager app i see my app.How it works?.If something goes wrong within the code i willl check for tomcat logs.But tomcat logs also empty here
how to you check the webapps folder? the webapps folder is within the docker container. If you want to access your webapps container you could mount a host directory within your container to use it as webapps folder. That way you can access files without accessing docker. Details see here
i can see the front folder , how to access that war file build, i tried with
localhost:8080/buildName
but it dont show up, tomcat is working on localhost
