This image is based on Oracle JDK8 and Alpine Linux.
JDK bundle contains lots of unnecessary for Docker image stuff, so it was cleaned up by frolvlad.
The examples and docs have been cleaned up in tomcat.
Run in an interactive mode and watch the log
$ docker run -it --rm splazit/tomcat
Run in a daemon mode, expose port 8080 to host and mount webapps and logs dir to the host
$ docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -v [host_path_webapps_dir]:/tomcat/webapps -v [host_path_logs_dir]:/tomcat/logs splazit/tomcat
Once you have run the above command, you should be able to connect to your http://localhost:8080/
Feel free to leave any suggestions.
