rtdi/connectorrootapp repository overview

⁠ConnectorRootApp

A simple Tomcat base layer providing links to all configured apps, adds security, SSL and other convenience functions.

⁠Usage

To start the image quickly download it via docker pull

docker pull rtdi/connectorrootapp

and start it using the command

docker run -d --name rootapp -p 80:8080 -p 443:8443   rtdi/connectorrootapp

and then open the root page using the correct hostname, e.g. http://localhost/⁠

This assumes all defaults, meaning https will not be operational, just http. The login is set to rtdi / rtdi!io and all made settings will be made within the container.

The better way however is to provide parameters for the SSL hostname, the webserver password and a permanent directory for the settings. In this example the

• hostname running the docker image is 'example.domain.com'

• webserver user is 'rtdi' and the password is 'changeit'

• host's directory to store all settings is '/home/dir'

• container is removed from docker when it is shut down due to the --rm flag

  docker run -d --name rootapp -p 80:8080 -p 443:8443 --rm
  -e SSLHOSTNAME=example.domain.com -e TOMCATPWD=changeit
  -v /home/dir/rtdiconfig:/usr/local/tomcat/conf/rtdiconfig
  -v /home/dir/security:/usr/local/tomcat/conf/security
  rtdi/connectorrootapp

The production way is to prive the directory and modify/create the files correctly. Maybe even provide a better suited server.xml for the tomcat process.

docker run -d --name rootapp -p 80:8080 -p 443:8443 --rm \
  -v /home/dir/rtdiconfig:/usr/local/tomcat/conf/rtdiconfig \
  -v /home/dir/security:/usr/local/tomcat/conf/security \
  rtdi/connectorrootapp
