I use the tarball provided by upstream on CentOS 7, since the
distro-provided version is quite old. I created a 'tomcat' system user
and gave it ownership of the extracted files under /opt. I also wrote a
simple systemd unit file to manage the service in the usual way.
If you take that approach be sure to subscribe to the tomcat-announce
list in order to receive update announcements.
