Introduction

birdhousebuilder.recipe.tomcat is a Buildout recipe to install Apache Tomcat application server with Anaconda. This recipe is used by the Birdhouse project.

Usage

The recipe requires that Anaconda is already installed. You can use the buildout option anaconda-home to set the prefix for the anaconda installation. Otherwise the environment variable CONDA_PREFIX (variable is set when activating a conda environment) is used as conda prefix.

It installs the apache-tomcat package from a conda channel in a conda enviroment defined by CONDA_PREFIX. The intallation folder is given by the prefix buildout option. It deploys a Supervisor configuration in ${prefix}/etc/supervisor/conf.d/tomcat.conf. Supervisor can be started with ${prefix}/etc/init.d/supervisord start.

By default Tomcat will be available on http://localhost:8080/.

The recipe depends on birdhousebuilder.recipe.conda and birdhousebuilder.recipe.supervisor.

This recipe supports the following options:

anaconda-home: Buildout option pointing to the root folder of the Anaconda installation. Default: $HOME/anaconda.
http_port: HTTP Port for Tomcat service. Default: 8080
Xms: Initial Java heap size: Default: 128m
Xmx: Maximum Java heap size: Default: 1024m
