Ubuntu 16.04, Oracle JDK 8.5.16 and Tomcat 8 based docker container.

Last Update :

v0.4.7 - Further Security

Fixed Manager, now it will work as long as it is not mounted using volumes, and it will be disabled by default if using "prod environment"
Added 2 new Environment rules, "dev"/"development" and "prod"/"production"(defaults to production); Developement can use manager but withouth volumes still working on it for a hack.

TODO

Separate developement and production img (remove vim, mc and use only the bare neceseties)
Configure corectly the manager application to work -- works w/o being mounted, needs fix in next update.

Description

You should run this container on the background and mount the volume with your web app inside.

Includes:

Ubuntu 16.04
Oracle JDK 1.8.111
Tomcat 8.5.16
Older versions included dev tools. I will separate this version and fork is as production have a bare minimum.

Volumes

Exports a volume on /opt/tomcat/webapps. You can mount the volume on run to a local directory containing your war file or exploded war directory. If you need the management app, remember to have a copy on your hosts volume mount point.

Ports

Two ports are exposed:

8080: default Tomcat port.
8009: default Tomcat debug port.

Remember to map the ports to the docker host on run.

How to run the container

Using docker

You need docker v1.3+ installed. To get the container up and running, run:

sudo docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 8009:8009 -v /srv/tomcat/webapps:/opt/tomcat/webapps zauxst/tomcat

Remember to change /srv/tomcat/webapps to the directory where your app is stored.

Using docker compose

If you have docker-compose installed, you can just launch:

sudo docker-compose up

Security Check

docker run -it --rm --net host --pid host --cap-add audit_control \
    -e DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=$DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST \

A warning regarding admin user for tomcat management console

Please note that the image contains a tomcat-users.xml file, including an admin user (password admin). For the time being, should you wish to change that, fork this repo and modify the xml file accordingly.
