how to run tomcat in docker container

Question

Hey there, how so I start tomcat in docker container

Answer 1

You will have to first pull the tomcat image using the below command:

$ sudo docker pull tomcat

Then you can run the tomcat as a container using this command:

$ sudo docker run -it -p 8888:8080 --name mytomcatcon tomcat

Now you can start working with tomcat, go into the tomcat container using this command:

$ sudo docker exec -it mytomcatcon bash

Hope that helped :)
