System Administrator error

pancho — Thu, 31 Oct 2024 18:02:42 GMT

I installed Alfresco Community Edition on Windows using git clone https://github.com/Alfresco/acs-deployment.git.

To enable smart folders, I need to edit a configuration file and set smart.folders.enabled to true. However, I get a permissions error both when attempting to make this change and when trying to create a new directory in "shared" folder for example.

Which system user ans password should I use for these actions? It seems different from the one used to administer Share.

Thank you for your help.

I found how to enter as an administrator. I was trying to enter with alfresco user and not with root user.

So instead of accesing the container with this command:

docker exec -it docker-compose-alfresco-1 /bin/bash

I had to acces using root user with this command:

docker exec -it --user root docker-compose-alfresco-1 /bin/bash

When using Docker containers for deployment, remember that filesystem shouldn't be modified as it will be lost eventually (if not using volumes to persist information). The recommended approach is to set "alfresco-global.properties" values (like the one for smart folders) as environment variables in Compose YAML file.

Take a look at this as reference: https://github.com/Alfresco/acs-deployment/blob/master/docker-compose/community-compose.yaml#L25
