Prerequisites
- Docker
- This allows you to run Docker images and Docker Compose on a single computer.
- Docker Compose
- Docker Compose is included as part of some Docker installers. If it's not part of your installation, then install it separately after you've installed Docker.
- Access to Quay
- Alfresco customers can request Quay.io credentials by logging a ticket at Alfresco Support. These credentials are required to pull private (Enterprise-only) Docker images from Quay.io.
- Download the latest Alfresco Content Services docker-compose.yml file by accessing the trial download page.
- Save the file in a local folder.
-
Edit the file and change the following two services:
Add a # prefix to the Alfresco Content Repository and Alfresco Share locations so they are commented out, and add the Alfresco Governance image locations
services: alfresco: #image: alfresco/alfresco-content-repository:6.2.x image: quay.io/alfresco/alfresco-governance-repository-enterprise:3.3.x mem_limit: 1700m
share: #image: alfresco/alfresco-share:6.2.x image: quay.io/alfresco/alfresco-governance-share-enterprise:3.3.x mem_limit: 1g
-
In a command prompt log in to Quay using the following command:
$ docker login quay.io login against server at https://quay.io/v1/ Username: <<Quay.io Credential Username>> Password: <<Quay.io Credential Password>>
-
In the command prompt change directory to the location of the
docker-compose.yml file and deploy Alfresco Governance Services using the following
command:
docker-compose up
This downloads the images, fetches all the dependencies, creates each container, and then starts the system. If you downloaded the project and changes were made to the project settings, any new images will be pulled from Quay before the system starts.
-
As an alternative, you can also start the containers in the background by
running:
docker-compose up -d
-
Wait for the logs to complete.
... alfresco_1 | 2019-10-05 13:59:36,469 INFO [management.subsystems.ChildApplicationContextFactory] [http-nio-8080-exec-1] Starting 'Search' subsystem, ID: [Search, managed, solr6] alfresco_1 | 2019-10-05 13:59:36,903 INFO [management.subsystems.ChildApplicationContextFactory] [http-nio-8080-exec-1] Startup of 'Search' subsystem, ID: [Search, managed, solr6] complete
If you encounter errors whilst the system is starting up:
- Stop the session (by using CONTROL+C).
- Remove the container (using the --rmi all option). For example:
docker-compose down --rmi all
- Try allocating more memory resources, as advised in docker-compose.yml. For example, in Docker, change the memory setting in Preferences (or Settings) > Advanced > Memory, to at least 6 GB. Make sure you restart Docker and wait for the process to finish before continuing.
- Go back and retry the deployment.
Note: Although 16 GB is the required minimum memory setting, keep in mind that 6 GB is much lower than the required minimum, and may need to be adapted for your environment. -
Open your browser and check everything starts up correctly:
