How to use mount as content store - Alfresco Community 7.0 on Ubuntu

Hi everyone,

 

I'm new to Alfresco and need help.

I'm installing Alfresco Community 7.0 on an Ubuntu Server 22.04 utilizing Docker Compose, following the instructions (https://docs.alfresco.com/content-services/community/install/containers/docker-compose/). I've mounted a disk from a NAS via CIFS on '/etc/fstab' and would like to use it as the content store for Alfresco. Is this the best way to do this?

I searched various posts of the forum and found scattered pieces of information. However, none that could clarify 100%.

I know it's a lot to ask, but is there any step-by-step?

 

Best regards!

You must to create a persistant volumes.

1. Create the project by installer https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-docker-installer . Ask for volume creation script.

2. Look inside the docker-compose.yml file in the section 'volumes' for each service.

3. Add 'volumes' section into your docker-compose.yml as it is in installer example. The alfresco service for example will be like this:

services:
    alfresco:
        ...
        volumes:
            - /mnt/alfresco/data/alf-repo-data:/usr/local/tomcat/alf_data
            - /mnt/alfresco/logs/alfresco:/usr/local/tomcat/logs

4. Change the ownership of the folders for each container. Look at the installer Readme.md and volumes creation script to get the owners.
