Docker image for tomcat 7.0.55

We have one of our Java projects with Tomcat 7.0.55 dependency, I have no liberty to upgrade this.

I want to run this in a container. But when I run, I get Apache Tomcat 7.0.55 not found in the browser.

In the official tomcat docker hub, I couldn't find this version, is it not supported? Do I have to create that image from scratch? If so, please point me to a good tutorial.

Here is my sample Dockerfile

FROM openjdk:7-jdk
COPY . /app
WORKDIR  /app
RUN javac ... # compilation step

EXPOSE 8088

FROM tomcat:8.0 # I Have tried 7.0.92-jre7 as well
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=0 /app .
CMD  java ... # run the project

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

As mentioned here, your Dockerfile should copy your war in the webapps folder of the Tomcat image, instead of trying to run it.

However, there is no tomcat 7.0.55: the first image was for 7.0.70.

You would need to try and build your own Tomcat image (using a similar tomcat Dockerfile) to be sure to run the exact Tomcat version you want.
See also "Dockerfile for tomcat" as an example.
