How to install Tomcat application server in Linux Fedora/Centos/RHEL
One thing I am currently focusing on right now, even voluntarily spending the most of my free time on the weekend, is to work with a project involving Red Hat Container Native Virtualization (CNV), which is a cool project based on the upstream project Kubevirt. With the CNV or Kubevirt, you can provision and manage the Virtual Machine (VM) on the top of container/Kubernetes platform like Red Hat Openshift.
Now, one thing I need to demonstrate is to that the provisioned Virtual Machine (VM) through the Red Hat Openshift can run the Apache Tomcat application server inside it, and the Java applications running on top of this Tomcat server is made accessible. Well, many things involving Kubevirt/CNV is really not right for my own personal blog — I will reserve that for Red Hat specific blogs. Instead, as one of the things I have to achieve is quickly demonstrate Tomcat is runnable inside the Linux Virtual Machine, that is going to be what I am going to write in this blog. I am using Fedora Operating System (OS) image, but this will work for RHEL/Centos as well since they also use YUM package management. You can easily make it working for any other Linux platform like Ubuntu/Debian, though, as only things that will change are the slight differences in the core package management platform (e.g. apt-get for Debian) and the directory…
