docker-alfresco is a part of the Xenit Open Source Tooling around Alfresco. Xenit is company with a big expertise and a strong team around Alfresco. If you'd like to learn more about our tools, services and products, please visit our website.
This project builds Alfresco-specific docker images used by Xenit, starting with Alfresco 6.1.

This is Xenit's repository for Alfresco and Share docker images. A major-minor version has a common skeleton.
- alfresco-repository-enterprise:
- alfresco-repository-community:
These are the images used for a multi-container Alfresco enterprise deployment in production. To be used together with
Share Docker Image , docker-solr
, postgres.
The most basic setup uses the docker-compose files
from 2repository/src/integrationTest/resources
. These files are used in the integration tests.
Multi-container: share to be used together with Alfresco Docker Image
, docker-solr, postgres.
Images with the repository and share are no longer built.
There are several environment variables available to tweak the behaviour. While none of the variables are required, they may significantly aid you in using these images. We don't set default environment variables. The defaults that are documented in the following tables, are the values that are used when the environment variables are not set.
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| TOMCAT_WEBAPPS | /usr/local/tomcat/webapps | |

| ACCESS_LOGGING | false | When true, access logs will be printed. These logs are always in JSON format |
| EXIT_ON_FAILURE | true | When true, the Java process will exit when the application deployed in Tomcat fails to start. Can be turned of for debugging purposes. |

The alfresco-global.properties can be set via a generic mechanism by setting environment variables of the form GLOBAL_, e.g. GLOBAL_alfresco.host.
A subset of the alfresco-global.properties have also dedicated environment variables e.g. SOLR_SSL. Generic variables take precedence.

There are several environment variables available to tweak the behaviour. While none of the variables are required, they may significantly aid you in using these images. The variables are read by an init script which further replaces them in the relevant files. Such relevant files include:
- share-config-custom.xml
See also environment variables from lower layers: docker-openjdk
and docker-tomcat.
Environment variables:
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ALFRESCO_HOST | alfresco | Used to generate WebDav links. |
| ALFRESCO_PORT | 8080 | Used to generate WebDav links. |
| ALFRESCO_PROTOCOL | http | Used to generate WebDav links. |
| ALFRESCO_CONTEXT | alfresco | Used to generate WebDav links. |
| ALFRESCO_INTERNAL_HOST | alfresco | Used for communication share-alfresco. |
| ALFRESCO_INTERNAL_PORT | 8080 | Used for communication share-alfresco. |
| ALFRESCO_INTERNAL_PROTOCOL | http | Used for communication share-alfresco. |
| ALFRESCO_INTERNAL_CONTEXT | alfresco | Used for communication share-alfresco. |
| SHARE_CONFIG_PATH | alfresco/web-extension | Parent folder for the share-config-custom.xml relative to GENERATED_CLASSPATH_DIR |
| SHARE_CONFIG_TEMPLATE_FILE | /docker-config/share-config-custom.xml | Path for a template file for share-config-custom.xml. This file supports variable replacement of the above variables, but also any other environment variable. |
If environment variables are not sufficient to cover the use-case desired, a custom share-config-custom.xml file can be mounted in /docker-config/share-config-custom.xml.
These images are updated via pull requests to the xenit-eu/docker-alfresco/ Github-repository.
To build a local version of the alfresco images:
./gradlew buildDockerImage
or for a specific image:
./gradlew 2repository:enterprise-6.1.0:buildDockerImage
To run the integration tests:
./gradlew integrationTests
To see all available tasks:
./gradlew tasks
If you have access to Alfresco private repository add the repository to build.gradle and add
-Penterprise
to your build commands.
