ACS docker-compose with external volume for alfresco repo and solr indexes

d5m1 — Wed, 09 Sep 2020 16:14:25 GMT

Hi,

Could anyone provide an example of an ACS (latest version if possible) docker-compose, and related Dockerfiles, using an external DB and external volumes?

Thanks in advance

Regards

Hi,

Thanks for the reponse, Angel.

Volumes used in the provided link just applies to postgres and solr, what I need is to set an external (not bind mount) volume for the alfresco repo, which in V6.2.2 uses a "shared file store" in this manner:

services:
alfresco:
image: alfresco/alfresco-content-repository:6.2.2-RC1
mem_limit: 1700m
environment:
JAVA_OPTS: "
-Ddb.driver=org.postgresql.Driver
-Ddb.username=alfresco
-Ddb.password=alfresco
-Ddb.url=jdbcostgresql://postgres:5432/alfresco
-Dsolr.host=solr6
-Dsolr.port=8983
-Dsolr.secureComms=none
-Dsolr.base.url=/solr
-Dindex.subsystem.name=solr6
-Dshare.host=127.0.0.1
-Dshare.port=8080
-Dalfresco.host=localhost
-Dalfresco.port=8080
-Daos.baseUrlOverwrite=http://localhost:8080/alfresco/aos

-Ddsync.service.uris=http://localhost:9090/alfresco
-DtrialUid=id5487903
-Xms1500m
-Xmx1500m
"

.......

shared-file-store:
image: alfresco/alfresco-shared-file-store:0.7.0
mem_limit: 512m
environment:
JAVA_OPTS: " -Xms256m -Xmx512m"
scheduler.content.age.millis: 86400000
scheduler.cleanup.interval: 86400000
ports:
- 8099:8099
volumes:
- shared-file-store-volume:/tmp/Alfresco/sfs

.....

volumes:
shared-file-store-volume:
driver_opts:
type: tmpfs
device: tmpfs

On the other hand, I need to use an external, Oracle DB.

Thanks for your answer.

What about this?

-Dsfs.url=http://shared-file-store:8099/

Won't be alfresco repo using the shared file store?

It is used for asynchronously content transformation(also text extraction for full text search).

ACS community edition dose not use this property now.

Thanks for the clarification.

I was finally able to run ACS through the next docker-compose, based on the template provided by Alfresco from the docs site (https://www.alfresco.com/platform/content-services-ecm/trial/download😞

RUN chgrp -R Alfresco /opt/alfresco-sync-service
RUN chown -R dsync:Alfresco /opt/alfresco-sync-service

Do you see anything wrongor improvable?

BTW, Is there a new, official docker-compose for version 3 (this ones uses version 2, quite old)?

Version 2 is the latest version ,https://github.com/Alfresco/acs-deployment/tree/master/docker-compose

d5m1 — Mon, 14 Sep 2020 11:21:20 GMT

Hi,

What about the /opt/alfresco-search-services/contentstore? Shouldn't it be also mapped to an external volume?
Regards

Re: ACS docker-compose with external volume for alfresco repo and solr indexes

kaynezhang — Tue, 15 Sep 2020 02:16:17 GMT

You can map index data directory ,contentstore directory,solrhome directory out based on your requirements

 - your data pah :/opt/alfresco-search-services/data
- your contentstore pah :/opt/alfresco-search-services/contentsotre
- your solr home path:/opt/alfresco-search-services/solrhome

Re: ACS docker-compose with external volume for alfresco repo and solr indexes

d5m1 — Tue, 15 Sep 2020 06:41:47 GMT

Hi,

Thank you for your answer.

Yes, I know I can map any directory, my question was regarding which directories should be externalized in order for the solr data to be persisted. Is the data directory enough to be mapped (and thus backed up)? Or should I also map (back up) any other directory (such as the contentstore)? What kind of data is saved in there?

Thank you
