Alfresco Content Services Containerized Deployment
This project contains the code for starting the entire Alfresco Content Services (ACS) product with Docker using Docker Compose or Kubernetes using Helm Charts.
Prerequisites
By default the Enterprise version of ACS is installed. To accomplish this private Docker images stored in Quay.io are downloaded. Alfresco customers can request Quay.io credentials by logging a ticket with Alfresco Support.
The images downloaded directly from Docker Hub, or Quay.io are for a limited trial of the Enterprise version of Alfresco Content Services that goes into read-only mode after 2 days. If you'd like to try Alfresco Content Services for a longer period, request the 30-day Download Trial.
To avoid license restrictions and private Docker images follow the instructions to deploy the Community Edition.
Versioning
NOTE: The versioning strategy used in this project has changed, if you have previously used this project please read this section carefully!
The master branch of this repository now contains the artifacts required to deploy both the the latest work-in-progress development version and previous stable versions of ACS.
The default behaviour of the deployment scripts is to use the latest work-in-progress development version however, individual files are now provided to deploy the latest hot fix version of each major.minor version of ACS. The support/* branches will remain in place but will no longer be maintained.
A new version numbering scheme is also being introduced, during the development phase one or more milestone releases will be produced indicated by an M suffix, for example "5.0.0-M1". Once feature complete one or more RC releases will be produced followed by the final GA release. Upon release the repository will be tagged with the release number.
The table below shows the exact version of ACS deployed with each chart version/tag.

ACS 6.1.x is currently in EoM and has been removed from this project, if you need to install it please use a former release like 5.1.1.
Docker
The default docker compose file contains the latest work-in-progress deployment scripts and installs the latest development version of ACS.
To deploy a specific version of ACS several specific major.minor docker compose files are provided.
Our tests are executed using the latest version of Docker and Docker Compose provided by GitHub Actions.
Helm
Version 5.0.0 and later of the ACS Helm chart has been updated to be version agnostic, meaning the same chart can now be used to deploy different versions of ACS.
By default the latest version of the chart will always deploy the latest development version of ACS. A set of values files are also provided that can be used to deploy a specific major.minor version.
NOTE: As the Helm chart no longer deploys a specific version of ACS the appVersion property within the chart is longer be specified.
Our tests are executed using Helm 3.5.4, kubectl 1.18.9 against an EKS cluster running Kubernetes 1.21.
