How to configure tomcatuser.xml.. not able to access manager from UI

I am also stuck in that part,
Did you find any clue

change the CMD as
CMD ["/usr/local/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh", "run"]
and tomcat runing by default on port 8080 so change accordingly
OR to run specifically or port 8000, add the following in Dockerfile
RUN sed -i 's/port="8080"/port="8000"/' /usr/local/tomcat/conf/server.xml

Latest Tomcat version -> http://apache.stu.edu.tw/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.5.58/bin/apache-tomcat-8.5.58.tar.gz
Remember to change the foldername too!

Great Dockerfile. For some reason, this is not working with Tomcat 10.0.14 !!

i am unable to get inside the container to give access permission what could be the reason
