solr6-alfresco

Generate a docker Ubuntu based image of alfresco-search-services-1.1.0 to be used with Alfresco Community v5.2.0. (Installation comes from here https://sourceforge.net/projects/alfresco/files/Alfresco%20201707%20Community/alfresco-search-services-1.1.0.zip and the Alfresco image it should be used with is https://github.com/pdubois/docker-alfresco)

Description

The Dockerfile builds from "dockerfile/ubuntu" see https://hub.docker.com/_/ubuntu/

• Dockerfile defines an "ENTRYPOINT" performing following configurations when containter is started first:
  • Unzip "alfresco-search-services-1.1.0.zip" under /opt/alfresco-search-services
  • Create the default 2 cores executing solr start -force -a "-Dcreate.alfresco.defaults=alfresco,archive"
  • stop seach server
  • Adjust alfresco.host in solrcore.properties of both cores to make search server to track container running Alfresco. The symbolic ip address of the Alfresco container is passed throuht*** ALFRESCO_HOST*** environment variable.

To generate the image from "Dockerfile"

cd _folder-containing-Dockerfile_
sudo docker build -t _image-name_ .

Examples:

sudo docker build -t solr6 .

To start a container using the image with alfresco

The easyest way to start the stack is to use docker-compose with the following yml file:

version: '3'
services:
   alfresco:
       image: "pdubois/docker-alfresco:master"
       ports:
        - "8443"
       environment:
        - INITIAL_PASS=admun
        - CONTAINER_FUNCTION=tomcat
        - ALF_1=db.url.EQ.jdbc:postgresql:\/\/postgres:5432\/alfresco
        - ALF_2=db.password.EQ.mysecretpassword  
        - ALF_3=db.username.EQ.postgres
        - ALF_4=index.subsystem.name.EQ.solr6
        - ALF_5=solr.secureComms.EQ.none
        - ALF_6=solr.host.EQ.solr6
        - ALF_7=solr.port.EQ.8983
        - ALF_8=solr.port.ssl.EQ.8443
        - DB_CONTAINER_NAME=postgres
       depends_on:
        - postgres
        - solr6
   postgres:
       image: postgres:9.4.4
       environment:
        - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword
   solr6: 
       image: pdubois/solr6:latest
       environment:
        - ALFRESCO_HOST=alfresco
        - XMS=2048
        - XMX=2048

In the example above XMS and XMX represents respectively the starting heap size and the maximum heap size.

To start the stack:

sudo docker-compose up

Note: In the above yml example it uses a automatically build version of the solr6 image and Alfresco stored on docker hub
