Deploy Alfresco locally using Docker Desktop for Windows and persistent volumes

[pola]

Hello,

I am new to alfresco and I am testing a poc where I try to deploy Alfresco Community 6.2 locally using docker-compose.yml. I managed to set up Alfresco,  using volumes in order to keep my data as descibed in this template, but if execute went docker-compose down and then docker-compose up, alfresco is not deployed.

The stacktrace:

seems like tansform-core-aio service is missing from your docker compose. 

Please share the complete docker compose file if not shared already.

Here is another example with persistant volumes: https://github.com/abhinavmishra14/change-acs-share-port-demo/blob/master/docker-compose.yml

Good luck @pola, glad you are able to solve your issue
