Help replacing missing keystore files for Alfresco Community 7.3 (Docker)

Tambo — Thu, 16 Oct 2025 09:44:23 GMT

Hello,

I installed Alfresco Community 7.3 using Docker Compose. Unfortunately, my original keystore files under /usr/local/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/keystore/ were deleted when the volume was removed.

I tried downloading the keystore files from version 7.2.1, but I am not sure if these are compatible with 7.3.

Could you please confirm whether the keystore files from 7.2.1 can be safely used in 7.3, or if there is a way to download the correct 7.3 keystore file seperately?

My current volume is mounted as:

volumes:

- alf_keystore:/usr/local/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/keystore

Thank you for your help!

Hеllо everyоne, I havе successfully dоwnlоadеd the Alfrеsсо Cоmmunity 7.3 distributiоn ZIP file (alfrescо-cоntent-sеrvices-соmmunity-distributiоn-7.3.0.zip).

This was uneхpесted, as previоus vеrsiоns оf Alfrеscо (like 7.2 and еarlier) typically included thе fоllоwing kеystоre files in this path: ``` kеystоrе ssl-keystоrе ssl-truststоre keystоre-passwоrds.prоpеrties ssl-keystоrе-passwоrds.prоpеrties ssl-truststоrе-pаsswоrds.prоperties ``` Thе аbsenсe оf thesе files prеvеnts my Alfrescо 7.3 Dоcker installatiоn frоm initiаlizing the keystоre, resulting in a failurе tо stаrt.

Hi,

I’m currently working on an Alfresco project and I’ve been trying to use Alfresco Community version 7.3. However, I’ve encountered several issues with it, and I’m wondering if there is another version of Alfresco, apart from 7.3, that is considered stable and suitable for project use.

Could you please advise if there is a recommended version I could use instead? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help! @angelborroy @roberto_gamiz

Hi,

I think Community 7.3 is a version too older to use in a new project. It was released on 2022.

Personally, if I don't have any requerimets (funtional or related to the supported stack ) that forces me to use an older one, for internal or personal projects I always try to use last relesaed version (right now 25.2).

In case of client projects if the last version has been release lees than three months ago I use the previous one to let community could test it a little more.

Best Regards,
