What are the minimum containers needed for running Alfresco repository

wwijgergangs

We are started to work with Alfreso (community 23.2.0) and did a deploy with docker compose in total 9 containers.
We will use Alfresco only as repository, is it sufficient to start only: postgres, content-app, share, alfresco and proxy?
At first glance it seems to work.

I think that the minimal architecture can be summarized in the following way:

• Alfresco Repository (alfresco): this is the repository service
• Alfresco Share (share): this is the frontend for configuration and maintenance purpose
• PostgreSQL (postgre): this is the database server
• Alfresco Content App (content-app): this is the frontend UI for users
• Web Server (nginx): this is the web server 

But please consider that in this way you have to disable the following services:

• Search Services (solr6): this is the Apache Solr 6 search engine
• Transform Core AIO (transform-core-aio): this service is used for transformation and for indexing
• Shared File Store (shared-file-store): this service is used as a temporary storage for transformations 
• ActiveMQ (activemq): this is the JMS server in order to manage asynchronous events for Out-Of-Process SDK, renditions, transformations

So the minimal architecture should be configured in the right way disabling indexing and transformations capabilities but at this point I don't know if you want a repository without the search engine or without generating renditions.

For disabling the indexing you should set the following property:

index.subsystem.name=noindex

Then you should disable the Messaging Service and the ActiveMQ topic for events:

messaging.subsystem.autoStart=false
repo.event2.enabled=false

It strongly depends on what you need to do with your project, can you share more details about what you want to achieve with Alfresco?
