In your docker compose file try to map tomcat/shared folder in alfresco service container out using volume mapping,like folowing
Then you can place your definition file in your local path

volumes:
- /your local path :/usr/local/tomcat/shared

Hii, @kaynezhang when i tried to map volume in service container i'm getting some error like this...

Please paste your docker-compose.yml file here.

Here is my docker-compose file.

# This docker-compose file will spin up an ACS cluster on a local host or on a server and it requires a minimum of 12GB Memory to distribute among containers.
# Limit container memory and assign X percentage to JVM. There are couple of ways to allocate JVM Memory for ACS Containers
# For example: 'JAVA_OPTS: "$JAVA_OPTS -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseCGroupMemoryLimitForHeap"'
# See Oracle docs (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/gctuning/parallel-collector1.htm#JSGCT-GUID-CAB83393-3438-44ED-98F0...).
# If the container memory is not explicitly set then the flags above will set the max heap default to 1/4 of the container's memory, which may not be ideal.
# For performance tuning, assign the container memory and give a percentage of it to the JVM.

# Using version 2 as 3 does not support resource constraint options (cpu_*, mem_* limits) for non swarm mode in Compose

I'm putting all my workflow's in ./bpmnworkflow directory.

[kaynezhang · Accepted solution]

You should place your volumes mapping under alfresco services ,not share

and pease place your workflow definition files under ./bpmnworkflow/classes/alfresco/extension folder and make sure the user you are using to run alfresco docker has read permission to folder ./bpmnworkflow/classes/alfresco/extension
In alfresco workflow admin console execute deploy activiti alfresco/extension/your workflow file

Thanks @kaynezhang  for help.
