Any experience installing and deploying community version in a virtual Linux server

Hi,We would like to install and deploy the community version to a virtual server (provided by an web hosting company) to allow access within our small organization. We also need to install thirty-party add-ons and customize it, so we don't want to just use the Alfresco on the cloud solution.I think

In special, whether it is feasible and reliable deploying the Alfresco community version into Amazon EC2?

Hello, Gordon.

Yes, I installed Alfresco 5.0.d on a <strong>t2.medium</strong> Ubuntu 14.04 server on EC2 in AWS. No problems.

<code bash>
sudo apt-get install libice6 libsm6 libxt6 libxrender1 libfontconfig1 libcups2
</code>

download and install Community Alfresco for Linux 64-bit ..
<code bash>
sudo ./alfresco-community-5.0.d-installer-linux-x64.bin
</code>

And then browsed to ..


http://IP_ADDRESS or DNS_ADDRESS:8080/share
‍‍‍

And all worked fine.

Most of the articles in my blog http://geofoss.net/ relate to this installation.

Thank you very much! It really helps and I will try.

BTW do you know if it is possible to install in t2.micro instance? Because I would like to have a free trial before convincing the client to install in the payed service.

I just try and it does not install. It said it requires at least 2G ram, preferable 4G. However t2.micro only 1G ram..

Re-try with T2-medium, however the setup procedure lasts a long long time (1 hour?) and it has not finished yet. It stays in "Installing Alfresco Module Packages(AMPs).

At the same time, I notice that the CPU usage is just a few percent and looks like the installation is not doing its work. What's wrong here?

After I kill the previous dead installation processes, I re-install using the text mode (–mode text), then it installs very quickly and totally fine, then…

I can say that 5.0.d installation went fine on a t2.micro but it's unusable. It takes from 60seconds to infinite hours to respond. I suppose minimum is a t2.medium.

The rule of thumb is Alfresco and an O.S. needs a VM of at least 4G. Yes it will run on less, but alfresco needs the RAM.

So, I should run:

./alfresco-community-installer-201704-linux-x64.bin -mode text

is that right?
