Deploying Alfresco Content Services Community

1. Clone this repository or download a single file - docker-compose.
2. Navigate to the folder where the docker-compose.yml file is located.
3. Run docker-compose up
4. Open the following URLs in your browser to check that everything starts up:

• Administration and REST APIs: http://<machine_ip>:8080/alfresco
• Share: http://<machine_ip>:8080/share
• Search administration: http://<machine_ip>:8083/solr

Note:

• Make sure that exposed ports are open on your host. Check the docker-compose.yml file to determine the exposed ports - refer to the host:container port definitions. You'll see they include 5432, 8080, 8083 and others.
• If Docker is running on your local machine, the IP address will be just localhost.
• If you're using the Docker Toolbox, run the following command to find the IP address:

docker-machine ip

• If you run docker-compose up after deleting a previous Docker Compose cluster, then replace step 3 with the following command:

docker-compose down && docker-compose build --no-cache && docker-compose up

• For testing purposes, you can enable the browser's native login prompt by adding -Dalfresco.restApi.basicAuthScheme=true in your docker-compose.yml file under the JAVA_OPTS environment variables.
