Workflow email URL's defaulting to 127.0.0.1

nick_trimming — Tue, 12 Oct 2021 12:53:30 GMT

I am running Alfresco community edition V7.1.0 in Docker containers running on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS.

Everything is working as it should except for workflow e-mails, which have the incorrect URL, they all start with http://127.0.0.1. I am fairly new to Docker containers and have tried editing the docker-compose.yml file as suggested in other posts but to no avail. The URL's should start with http://10.4.0.200.

I would appreciate if someone with some more experience could take a look at the docker-compose file below and let me know what I am missing (there are so many different docker-compose files in the installation but I think I am editing the correct one (Alfresco/app/acs-deployment/docker-compose/docker-compose.yml))

Thanks in advance

Nick

You need to set the SysAdminParams subsystem config properties via JAVA_OPTS to "tell" ACS which URLs to construct for emails. Specifically you want to set alfresco.host / alfresco.protocol / alfresco.port in accordance with your user-facing proxy / loadbalancer / gateway.

Thank you for this information. is the notation correct below, as I thought I had already done this? Please forgive my ignorance on this.

JAVA_OPTS: "
                -XX:MinRAMPercentage=50
                -XX:MaxRAMPercentage=80
                -Dalfresco.host=10.4.0.200
                -Dalfresco.port=8080
                -Dalfresco.context=alfresco
                -Dalfresco.protocol=http
                "

You need to include those properties also in "alfresco" service.

Please could you give me some guidance as to how I achieve this?

Thank you for the clarification but I must be missing a step. I have added this configuration to every compose file I can find on the system in question but the links in the e-mails are still coming up with http://127.0.0.1. am I missing a step to have this configuration applied (I have stopped and restarted all of the containers after the configuration change)?

Some workflows - such as site invites - may be taking the host / URL from the browser context in which the user initiated them, and use those in emails. Make sure that you are also accessing Alfresco using the same public DNS name / URL as other users would need to use.
