Unable to Override default tomcat port when running Openmrs on docker

Am running OpenMRS as a Docker conatiner on a remote virtual machine , I want to be able to override the default tomcat port from 8080 as i have several other servers using the same port on the machine.

am using this docker compose file from here

`version:`   `'2.1'`

`      ` `-`   `/usr/local/tomcat/.OpenMRS/owa/ ` `# do not store owa in data`

 

`volumes:`

`   ` `openmrs-referenceapplication-mysql-data:`

`   ` `openmrs-referenceapplication-data:`

i changed the ports as below

` `ports:`

`      ` `-`   `"8088:8088"`

But the logs still show that tomcat is running on 8080 (see below) , and the worst of it i cant acces it via 8080.

Starting ProtocolHandler ["http-apr-8080"] openmrs-referenceapplication_1 | Feb 12, 2020 11:03:38 AM org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol start openmrs-referenceapplication_1 | INFO: Starting ProtocolHandler ["ajp-apr-8009"]

,neither can i acces it via what i defined in my docker compose file

You probably want to map the tomcat port 8080 to 8088 like, 8088:8080.
