I started the Alfresco Docker image and it seems to start
https://docs.alfresco.com/content-services/community/install/containers/docker-compose/
I did the following and it starts.
git clone https://github.com/Alfresco/acs-deployment.git
cd acs-deployment/docker-compose
docker-compose -f community-compose.yaml up
http://localhost:8080
Log in using
admin admin
Now I am trying to start app that will connect to ACS.
https://www.alfresco.com/abn/adf/docs/getting-started/
I clone git clone https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-content-app.git
It says to edit `.env` file with the contents. `API_CONTENT_HOST="https://..."`
Instead, I place API_CONTENT_HOST="http://localhost:8080" into the `.env` file.
I do an `npm start` for the `alfresco-content-app` and it launches at http://localhost:4200. I try to log in using admin/admin, but it says invalid username password. Did I configure the value for `API_CONTENT_HOST` incorrectly? What error did I make?

Hello,
The property you need to set up to point to alfresco repository in .env file is called BASE_URL.

Hello,
That property was used in previous versions of the aplicatión. It was removed in this commit
https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-content-app/commit/7ab4cc5e5333398986dd5a89443690c15a7c9feb
So I think that tutorial is outdated. Its release note page for adf components go up just to 6.0.0 version (https://www.alfresco.com/abn/adf/docs/release-notes/) and this version is from 2013.

I put the contents in the .env file and I was able to start the angular app and connect using admin/admin. Is the API_CONTENT_API variable referenced in the tutorial an error?
BASE_URL="http://localhost:8080/"
