Minimal Docker image with Apache Tomcat

:warning: Deprecated: This is not maintained any more, and references old versions of Java and Tomcat.

Basic Docker image to run Apache Tomcat. This is based on Alpine Linux to keep the size minimal.

• Tomcat is installed in /opt/tomcat.
• It listens on port 8080.
• A user admin is configured, with access to the manager and host-manager apps. You should remove it, or at least change its password, if you want to use this image in production.
• Documentation and examples have been removed.

Tags

• tomcat9-java8 or 9 or latest: Tomcat 9 on Oracle Java 8
• tomcat8-java8 or 8 or 8.5: Tomcat 8.5 on Oracle Java 8
• tomcat7-java8 or 7: Tomcat 7 on Oracle Java 8

Tomcat 6 and 8.0 are no longer supported, so the corresponding tags should no longer be used.

Please note that Java 7 is unsupported by Oracle, as of April 2015, so the following tags use Java version 7u80, which has know security issues, and should not be used on a publicly accessible website:

• tomcat8-java7: Tomcat 8 on Oracle Java 7
• tomcat7-java7: Tomcat 7 on Oracle Java 7

Additionally, tags are created for each tomcat release (e.g. 8.0.24 or 8.0.24-java8).

Note that the 7 tag used to reference tomcat7-java7. It now references tomcat7-java8 due to the end of support for java 7.

Usage

Example:

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 jeanblanchard/tomcat:9
