trying to create folder in docker alresco docker tomcat webapps folder

brieweb

I am trying the tutorial. I can't seem to create a folder in the Docker image, by default. I seem to recall at some point that I figured out a way to create the folder, but then the tomcat wouldn't recognize my-js-app in the folder. Is there a way to run this externally? It seems that the Docker image has been created differently since this tutorial was written?

I connected to the docker repository that runs the tomcat, yet I can not create a folder since the user that it gives me is alfresco and the webapps folder is only writable by root. Any tips on this?

4ca640e2477c alfresco/alfresco-content-repository-community:25.2.0 "catalina.sh run -se…"
sudo docker exec -i -t 4ca640e2477c /bin/bash
[alfresco@4ca640e2477c tomcat]$ ls -lhd webapps/
drwxr-x---. 1 root Alfresco 4.0K Jul 16 08:37 webapps/
[alfresco@4ca640e2477c tomcat]$ id
uid=33000(alfresco) gid=33000(alfresco) groups=33000(alfresco),1000(Alfresco)

Hi,

Perhaps you could add a new volume to your docker-compose.yml with the application directory or create your own custom image of the Alfresco content repository, including a copy of your application in a Dockerfile.

However, this tutorial is outdated, and I'm not sure if it will be useful in a real-world environment. It might be better to deploy your application in a new container and configure CORS if necessary.

Regards.

Hmm, I am new to alfresco and I am not sure the steps I would take. Is there a step by step tutorial on creating an application in a new container and configuring CORS? I launched the acs-deployment image in my attempt to make this work.

Hello,

Assuming you are has followed the instruccions of tutotial tu generate the application and you have it in a folder call my-js-app, if you use community-compose.yaml I attach to the post instead the one from acs-deployment you get the application deployed to the alfresco container (http://localhost:8080/my-js-app) and in a new container (http://localhost:8280).

In the alfresco container is configured cors filter

-Dcors.enabled=true

-Dcors.allowed.origins=http://localhost:8280

-Dcors.allowed.methods=DELETE,GET,HEAD,OPTIONS,POST,PUT

-Dcors.allowed.headers=Accept,Access-Control-Request-Headers,Access-Control-Request-Method,Authorization,Cache-Control,Content-Type,Origin,X-CSRF-Token,X-Requested-With

-Dcors.exposed.headers=Access-Control-Allow-Origin,Access-Control-Allow-Credentials,Set-Cookie

and the application is uploaded using a external volumen.

- ./my-js-app:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/my-js-app

A new container is created too

my-js-app:

image: nginx:latest

mem_limit: 128m

ports:

- "8280:80"

volumes:

- ./my-js-app:/usr/share/nginx/html

Regards

Hola Roberto,

Thank you for providing the changes to the `community-compose.yaml`. I applied the updates, yet I get an error when I try to bring it up with docker. Any clues here? I am not very familiar with Docker, so I am guessing that it could be something with the indentation? I am going to have to research how to write the yaml file. I also tried a direct copy and paste of your contents and it said the same error on line 16.

brian:~/pkg/alfresco/acs-deployment/docker-compose$ sudo docker-compose -f community-compose.yaml up
yaml: line 41: could not find expected ':'

Congratulations! As I said you before, the ideal approach is to deploy your application in a separate container and connect it to Alfresco using REST services.

Best regards.
