rpowered/tomcat8 repository overview

This is a Tomcat 8.0.42 container with AJP. It is based on Ubuntu 14.04 and utilises our Oracle JDK 8 base image. AJP is available, but disabled by default. To enable it, specify the JVM Route to use, as per the example below.   Launch this container from docker-compose:

  webapp:
    image: rpowered/tomcat8
    network_mode: "bridge"
    environment:
      - "TOMCAT_JVM_ROUTE=tomcat1"
    volumes:
      - /opt/webapps:/opt/tomcat/webapps
    ports:
      - "8080"

  This allows your web application to be stored on your host in eg /opt/webapps.   Tomcat will be launched automatically with a minimum of 1GB RAM, and up to 8GB RAM. Alter environment variables JAVA_MIN_MEM and JAVA_MAX_MEM for greater control. TOMCAT_MAX_THREADS is set to 400, but this too can be altered as appropriate. Any available .WAR files found in your /opt/webapps directory will be expanded by default. It is recommended that you utilise subfolders under /opt/webapps for version control.
