Starting my approach of provisioning Alfresco Community in Travis CI using docker-compose

This solution will give you the posibility to provision:

• one tomcat container based on tomcat:8.5.20-jre8-alpine
• with Alfresco Community Repository (see what version I am using)
• and Alfresco Community Share UI on top
• Alfresco Rest-API-Explorer
• TBD - SOLR search

You will have the possibility to choose between any Alfresco Community distribution zip files - following the start.sh helper script.

! Prerequisites

• docker
• docker-compose
• access to one Alfresco Community distribution ZIPs Release
• Unix based operating system

Starting Alfresco Community

a) clone project

$ git clone https://github.com/paulbrodner/alfresco-community-deployment.git

In root folder we have docker-compose.yml file that will start Alfresco Community Edition with the distribution zip that you will provide - see bellow

b) create .env file

Create a new .env file in root folder based on .env.example

These variables will be used by docker-compose.yml further on.

c) run start.sh

In root folder you will find start.sh - a helper script that will:

• download for you the Alfresco Community Edition to tomcat/distribution
• start the docker-compose for you

$ ./start.sh

   ------------------------------------------

1) Download Distributions  
2) Start
3) Quit
Choose your option (1-3):

choose first "1" to download the distro

run again the script and choose "2" to start the entire solution.

d) login to Alfresco

• access http://localhost:8080/alfresco for Alfresco Repository
• access http://localhost:8080/share for Alfresco with Share UI
• access http://localhost:8080/api-explorer/ for Alfresco Rest API Explorer

---

! Hint

• at any time you can download another Alfresco Community Edition and place it under tomcat/distribution folder

• make sure you update the .env file with COMMUNITY_DISTRIBUTION=distribution/<your-alfresco-community-distribution-201707.zip>

• or just export COMMUNITY_DISTRIBUTION=distribution/<your-alfresco-community-distribution-201707.zip in bash file before docker-compose up --build
