Alfresco Enterprise Docker Installer

DISCLAIMER

IMPORTANT This project is not supported by Alfresco in any way. Despite deployments using Docker Compose are considered a valid approach for ACS deployment (Community and Enterprise), this alfresco-enterprise-docker tool is not the official Alfresco recommendation. Please, check https://github.com/Alfresco/acs-deployment/tree/master/docker-compose in order to understand official recommendations from Alfresco.

Description

This project builds a Docker Compose template for Alfresco Enterprise according to services selection that can be used as reference to design ACS deployments.

This project does not include:

• RAM limits for every service according to global memory available for Docker
• Customized configuration for Docker Images
• Addons deployment

Docker Images from quay.io are used, since this product is only available for Alfresco Enterprise customers. If you are Enterprise Customer or Partner but you are still experimenting problems to download Docker Images, contact Alfresco Hyland Support in order to get required credentials and permissions.

This program has following dependencies:

• Node.js
• Yeoman

You can download and install Node.js from official web page:
