Alfresco is delivering a Docker Compose for ACS Community deployment that can only be used for local testing environments:
acs-community-deployment/docker-compose at master · Alfresco/acs-community-deployment · GitHub
In order to deploy the product in real environments, some additional configurations must be performed. You can find some of this configurations described at https://community.alfresco.com/community/ecm/blog/2018/05/01/using-alfresco-201804-ea-in-a-simple-pr...
However, as it should be advisable to maintain original Alfresco resources untouched, another approach is required. Docker Compose allows to share configuration by using additional YML specification files to override the original one. Below some instructions to configure default Alfresco Docker Compose for ACS 6 Community are provided.
Checkout or download official Docker Compose
$ git clone git@github.com:Alfresco/acs-community-deployment.git

$ cd acs-community-deployment/docker-compose/
$ ls
docker-compose.yml
Create a docker-compose.override.yml file
You can add volumes mapping, ports exposition and additional Docker images to original Docker Compose.
$ touch docker-compose.override.yml
$ cat docker-compose.override.yml
version: "3"
services:
httpd:
build: ./httpd
ports:
- 443:443
links:
- alfresco
- share
- solr6
alfresco:
volumes:
- ./data/alf-repo-data:/usr/local/tomcat/alf_data
ports:
- 21:2121
postgres:
volumes:
- ./data/postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
solr6:
volumes:
- ./data/solr-data:/opt/alfresco-search-services/data
Add your customised images
Adding an NGIX or Apache HTTPd server should be recommendable for many environments.
$ tree httpd
httpd
├── Dockerfile
└── assets
├── CA.pem
├── alfresco-vhost.conf
├── server.crt
└── server.key
You can use something provided by the Community like this one, or any other you like.
Start the composition
You can use default commands to run Docker Compose.
Extensions declared in docker-compose.override.yml file will be picked automatically, so your volumes, ports and additional Docker images will be available in the composition.
$ docker-compose up -d --build
Now Alfresco is running in a real environment by using official (and untouched) Docker Compose resource.
