Hyland Alfresco Developer - Installation with containers

Description

This course teaches you how to get up and running with the Alfresco Content Services (ACS) system locally using Docker Compose. It will cover the differences between the Community version and the Enterprise version. As well as looking at the supplied Docker Compose files we will also try out a Docker Compose file generator.

After covering ACS we will look at Alfresco Process Services (APS). An APS trial does not supply a Docker Compose file so we will see how one can be easily created. In this section we will also discuss different versions of the Activiti open source workflow and engine and what versions that are embedded in ACS and APS.

This course also covers basic Docker and Docker Compose concepts.

This is in preparation for developing extensions for ACS and APS. Technically you don't have to install ACS separately to develop extensions for it as the Alfresco SDK can run ACS with the extension(s) you are developing. However, deploying and running your extensions in a standard installation independently of the SDK is always a good idea before shipping it.

We also went through how to install ACS extensions when using Docker. This requires building your own Docker Images and using them instead of the standard ACS Docker Images. We will look at where the standard ACS Docker Images are stored and how they are referenced in the Docker Compose files.

In this course you will also learn about the GitHub projects used to package and deploy the ACS product, and where you can find the Docker Images used in the deployment process.
