Migrating custom app with Tomcat server from Webfaction to Opalstack

MisyeMonji

Is it possible to install JRE8 & Tomcat Server 8.5 in order to run .war file (Java web application) as a custom app. on opalstack?
Thank you

MisyeMonji Sure, you can run your Java apps here!

We've already got JRE8 installed, so you just need to set up Tomcat running on a "proxy port" app's port assignment.

sean Hi, I would also like to deploy my .war files. Do we have a documentation of how to do that?

I need to migrate from WebFaction. My website is a java servlet application running under tomcat and using MySQL. Please give me a hint how should I start to setup my application. I can not see any tomcat in the list of the application in my dashboard. Thank you in advance.

The first steps to get your Tomcat app running here will be:

Create a shell user on your Opalstack server. https://help.opalstack.com/article/45/managing-shell-users
Copy your application and data over from WebFaction (you can use scp, sftp, or rsync for that)
Once you've copied it over, let me know the commands that you used to start and stop it at WF. I'll then have a look and will let you know the next steps to get it running.

I've sent this same info to you via email a couple of times, please reply there with the details. Thanks!
