How to override the alfresco-global.properties in dev, staging and prod environments

[ainsof]

Im trying to set up a dev, staging, prod environment so I've set up a git repo and committed the alfresco-global.properties file and then deployed the repository to the dev, staging and prod servers.

Is there a way to override this file so that dev, staging and prod can have some similar settings (e.g authentication subsystems) while others are overridden (e.g. database connections)?

Thanks in advance

Environment specific configuration should be specified inside below file.

tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties.

Above file is loaded last , so it will override all configuration which is specified in above file.

Hi:

You can override specific environment properties via JAVA_OPTS too (for example in setenv.sh or init scripts), adding those properties as java variables with -D (this is similar what docker compose is using for environment).

Kind regards.
