Customizing Alfresco 7.4+

Good day All,

Alfresco newbie here I have installed and deployed Alfresco 7.4+ using docker but I would like to know how I can view the folders that have the alfresco images, so I can replace them with mine and also how I can customize the footer components as well.
In alfresco 5 and below, when installed on your laptop, you could go to your {{installation_file}}/ tomcat/webapps/share and make the appropriate changes but with docker, how can I achieve that as well?

Thanks

The best and recommended way to customize your Alfresco is to use : alfresco SDK:
See here :
https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-sdk

You can build module in jar or AMP (Alfresco module package) to deploy your customisation on Alfresco

The Alfresco maven SDK also use Docker to rn local instances for deve envirement, you can use DockerFile and Docker-compose to inspire for your own docker-compose

More documentation : https://docs.alfresco.com/content-services/7.4/develop/sdk/

Hi @oounoughi ,

Is there a Youtube video I can watch on how these configurations are done or can I connect with you and learn how they are done?

I am a newbie and I am trying to learn these things.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks
