Serve OpenGrok Search with Docker

The repository https://github.com/dyno/docker-opengrok

The Goal

I want to use OpenGrok to help myself to read code. The process involved
- index the code.
- deploy the webapps and server the search request.
In addition to that,
- I want to use latest OpenGrok code which I cloned from github.
the Docker container concept is very appealing to create an application independent of it’s running environment which just like Java as runtime for program. This Stackoverflow thread capture the spirit.
- The build and index process are very opengrok specific so I created my own docker image Dockerfile.
- The Application Server is pretty standard so I use tomcat:8-jre8.

opengrok.env
- souce code ~/gitroot
- the index ~/opengrok/data
- OpenGrok source code git clone https://github.com/OpenGrok/OpenGrok.git

Create Docker image dynofu/codeserver:v2 (Dockerfile):
- docker build -t dynofu/codeserver:v2 .
Build the OpenGrok to produce source.war:
- ./run_opengrok_build.sh
Index the source code with OpenGrok index:
- ./run_opengrok_index.sh
Serve the search with docker image tomcat:8-jre8:
- ./run_opengrok_serve.sh
