How to manage Alfreso install remotely?

[Rudy69]

Hello all,

Look for an EDMS for my personal usage , I mainly need a cntral point to gather the many notes I took in 20 years of IT and nice tool to look for some key word/phrase.

When I found Alfresco, I create a VBox VM (an Almalinux 8 + XFCE) and manage to install Community Edition release 7.2.1 then 7.3 according to Ansible method.

I have to tune a bit an extra-vars file but finally complete the installation with success:

PLAY RECAP *************************************************************************************************************
activemq_1 : ok=27 changed=16 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=11 rescued=0 ignored=0
adw_1 : ok=4 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=22 rescued=0 ignored=0
database_1 : ok=28 changed=17 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=11 rescued=0 ignored=0
localhost : ok=12 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=8 rescued=0 ignored=0
nginx_1 : ok=26 changed=10 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=11 rescued=0 ignored=0
repository_1 : ok=64 changed=38 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=21 rescued=0 ignored=0
search_1 : ok=29 changed=14 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=11 rescued=0 ignored=0
syncservice_1 : ok=6 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=32 rescued=0 ignored=0
transformers_1 : ok=38 changed=20 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=65 rescued=0 ignored=0

From the host of te VM, I can login with success in the <https://alf-srvr.my.internal/share/page/> with 'admin' account

When I try to create a new user, its failed : "We couldn't create user ."?

Otoh, when I try it from the VM within <http://localhost/share/page/> , I can create this user with same data?

I can now login with success in the <https://alf-srvr.my.internal/share/page/> with this new account but failed to create a folder in the User Homes/my_account?

But again from <http://localhost/share/page/>, I can create this folder sucessfully?

Is it a limitation of the Community Edition?

Thanks in advance for further advise.

Rudy.

PS: I create my self-sign cert to setup my nginx setup with following extra-vars:

---

use_ssl: true
fqdn_alfresco: "alf-srvr.my.internal"

autogen_unsecure_secrets: true

I also reach to setup a release 7.2.1 following Docker method and this doesn't show this problem??
(I just can't leave with as it require 16G of RAM which is the memory size of my VM host  , thought?)

Hello all,

Just in case,  I finaly find another description of my problem @

Cannot Add New User With Brand New Deployment on Ubuntu 20.04.5 

Also as I am just looking for an EDMS for my private use on a VM and its host-only adapter access, the simplest to me is to get rid of "csrf:" & "cors:" as describe in 'docs/SECURITY.md'.

Hth,

Rudy
