I am trying to create a docker build for libreplan, using the install instructions here. The dockerfile is
FROM tomcat:6
RUN apt-get -yq update && apt-get -yq install \
cutycapt \
patch \
postgresql-client \
libpg-java \
xvfb
# Prepare webapp location
RUN mkdir -p /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/libreplan
# Get WAR file
RUN wget -q -O /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/libreplan/libreplan.war http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/libreplan/LibrePlan/libreplan_1.3.0.war
# Install libreplan.xml
ADD libreplan.xml /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/libreplan/libreplan.xml
# Patch the policy to include libreplan
ADD catalina.policy.patch catalina.policy.patch
RUN patch -o /usr/local/tomcat/conf/catalina.policy /usr/local/tomcat/conf/catalina.policy catalina.policy.patch
CMD ["catalina.sh", "run"]
The build works but doesn't do anything when I try to run it. All the code is on github and I have set up an automated build on the docker registry. Included in the repo is a sample docker-compose.yml which should work, but when I try it no output is shown from the libreplan container and I can't access it through a browser. I don't know tomcat at all so it is probably something that I have done wrong, but I don't know how to even start figuring out what. Is there anything obvious that I have missed?
If I run your image:
$ docker run --name libreplan aquavitae/libreplan
I get:

Which seems entirely successful. Furthermore, I can grab the ip address of the container:
$ docker inspect --format '{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}' libreplan
172.17.0.9
And the open that in a browser:
$ firefox http://172.17.0.9:8080
And see the default Tomcat web page.
So mostly it seems to work.
I can also docker up things without error, although I replaced the build: . line with image: aquavitae/libreplan because I wasn't patient enough to try the build.
