Alfresco Community Edition 4.2.f for Docker
The container will launch Alfresco Community Edition 4.2.f.
It pulls the drwolf/alfresco-42f container (based on Ubuntu 14.04): https://index.docker.io/u/drwolf/alfresco-42f/
Alfresco Installed modules:
- Google Docs Integration
- Javascript Console
Requirements
Alfresco is configured to use 1 GB of RAM. I suggest to give the container at leas 1.5 GB of RAM (for Alfresco and OpenOffice daemon).
Configuration (required)
Open the alfresco-global.properties file and configure the database connection:
db.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
db.username=alfresco
db.password=
db.name=alfresco
db.url=jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/alfresco
Adapt these values to your database. The container doesn't start a MySQL server, so you need to have your.
Build the container
docker build -t <yourname>/alfresco-42f .
Run the container
docker run -d -P <yourname>/alfresco-42f
The container will start the supervisor daemon which launches SSH server and Alfresco.
With the -P option, the 22 and 8080 ports are automatically mapped to a free host's ports (in the pool 49000..49900). User docker ps to find the used ports.
Mount folders from the host
It could be very useful to mount the alf_data folder from the host. To do so use the alf_data folder you can find in the templates folder.
Find the path of the folder, e.g. /home/myuser/docker-alfresco/templates/alf_data, and run the container:
docker run -d -v /home/myuser/docker-alfresco/templates/alf_data:/opt/alfresco-4.2.f/alf_data <yourname>/alfresco-42f
You can also mount other useful folders, like /opt/alfresco-4.2.f/tomcat/logs/
Note about alf_data
The alf_data folder and the database must be used together. So you have do decide if mount the volume with alf_data before the first run of the container, or it won't work without deleting the database tables.
My suggestion is to run the container with the external alf_data volume on an empty database.
SSH access
The root password is set to s3cr3t by the Dockerfile, set there your own password
Alfresco and Alfresco Share access
If you used the -P option to launch the container, find the host's port mapped to the container's 8080 port, e.g. 49154, and point your browser to it:
- Alfresco: http://HOST_IP:CONTAINER_PORT/alfresco
- Alfresco Share: http://HOST_IP:CONTAINER_PORT/share
For both the initial username is admin and the password s3cr3t
