How to install Alfresco community on GNU/Linux

[iwkse]

I'm going to open this discussion to know your preferences on the way to install Alfresco for a production server.

There's the bundle install, which is not recommended and should be used only for test or as a demo.

This is a post by Francesco Corti‌ showing the process of installing 4.2.c

Alfresco 4.2.c installation on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - F. Corti 

and this is a newer version for 5.0.a

Alfresco 5.0.a installation on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - F. Corti 

which basically explains the step-to-step custom installation of Alfresco and its components and can be applied to any version of Alfresco (the only problem is knowing which are the exact versions you have to install). There's also another interesting project from Loftux _‌

GitHub - loftuxab/alfresco-ubuntu-install: Alfresco script based install for Ubuntu 

which does basically the same thing but scripted, it works on Ubuntu. I promised to myself to port it to Debian and maybe after writing this post I will do it faster.

Now I want to know from you which is your preferred way of installing Alfresco and why you choose it among others.

Interesting topic iwkse _‌

A more recent version of the quoted post is available here Alfresco 5.0.a installation on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - F. Corti 

In any case, I'm curious to follow the discussion here.

Thank you for the new link, I couldn't find (well, sometimes I have problems finding things 🙂 ) I will update the discussion just to have everything in one place

I always try to use ubuntu, and when possible, I use the ‌ script, as it does most of the work in a controlled way.

For other OSs, like other linux distributions or Windows, I use the official installer, but always perform some changes, basicaly the same as the Loftux's installer does.

Hi, and for recently Debian; all it's here (but in French) :  Installer Alfresco Community 5™ 

This documentation will be upgraded for update from 5.1 to 5.2...in progress at this time.

Good luck Best regards
