Issues with Docker container admin search

dwhitfield — Thu, 06 Aug 2020 13:43:07 GMT

I downloaded the docker compose file from https://www.alfresco.com/thank-you/thank-you-downloading-alfresco-community-edition

It mostly works, but user search doesn't work from the admin panel:

I have tried other users.

I know very little about Tomcat or Solr, but with tcpdump I was able to figure out that when searching from the "People" tab a call is going to Solr. However, when I search from "Admin Tools" -> "Users and Groups" --> "Users" no call actually makes it to Solr.

I noticed in Firefox that people-enterprise is getting blocked.

Then I noticed this 404 (SB is one of the users):

The hint to "useCQ" doesn't help because I don't know what CQ is.

While this happns on a Mac with Firefox, a colleague of mine got the same issue on a Windows version of Chrome (didn't do network inspection, but same symptom). I ran this in a private browsing tab to try to avoid weird caching and plugin issues.

Does people-enterprise mean I have somehow installed the enterprise version when I went to the Community Edition page? What would be useful logs to look at?

Additionally, this project will build a Docker Compose template for you with the issue fixed:

I am running into this error using the docker installer on ubuntu 20.04:

apparently root and npm don't get along, but still running into issues using the alfresco-docker-installer:

I am able to get to the share page, but then in the UI I get this when I try to log in:
"Your authentication details haven't been recognized or Alfresco Content Services may not be available at this time."

This is the same system where I had the default docker-compose.yml mostly working. I wonder if the old persistent data could be messing this up somehow. I have tried with HTTPS and HTTP. I have tried the machine name as well as localhost.
