Docker Install Tomcat
Method 1: docker pull tomcat
Search for the Tomcat image on Docker Hub:
You can view other versions of Tomcat by sorting, with the default being the latest version tomcat:latest.
Additionally, we can use the docker search tomcat command in the console to view available versions:
tutorialpro@tutorialpro:~/tomcat$ docker search tomcat

Here, we pull the official image:
tutorialpro@tutorialpro:~/tomcat$ docker pull tomcat
After the download completes, we can see the tomcat image in our local image list.
tutorialpro@tutorialpro:~/tomcat$ docker images | grep tomcat
tomcat latest 70f819d3d2d9 7 days ago 335.8 MB
Method 2: Build via Dockerfile
Create a Dockerfile
First, create a directory named tomcat to store related files.
tutorialpro@tutorialpro:~$ mkdir -p ~/tomcat/webapps ~/tomcat/logs ~/tomcat/conf
The webapps directory will be mapped to the application directory of the tomcat container.
The logs directory will be mapped to the log directory of the tomcat container.
Configuration files in the conf directory will be mapped to the configuration files of the tomcat container.
Navigate to the created tomcat directory and create a Dockerfile.
