List of module jar versions for alfresco-content-repository-community:6.2.1-A8 docker image

[rimisra]

Hi There,

Would anyone be able to help me out with what individual versions of each alfresco module e.g. alfresco-repository, alfresco-remote-api, alfresco-core, alfresco-text-gen etc are present as part of Dockerfile for generating alfresco-content-repository-community:6.2.1-A8 docker image?

I am after what minimum modules are required to start up alfresco from here: https://hub.alfresco.com/t5/alfresco-content-services-hub/project-overview-repository/ba-p/290502 and their versions

I tried to build and start alfresco repo on its own from https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-repository but it returns

java -jar alfresco-repository-8.274-SNAPSHOT.jar 
no main manifest attribute, in alfresco-repository-8.274-SNAPSHOT.jar

Many thanks,

Richa

Can you provide any details as to what you want to achive ? Ideally i would not be worrying what all jar files are present in alfresco image and what version they are. I would simply use the docker image and put my customizations on top of it via extension points. 

You can find all the community and public artifacts here: https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/repositories/releases/org/alfresco/

Thanks for the reply. I am trying to build a pipeline at my end for generating the relevant jars from their public github repos and generating a docker image out of them. Is it possible to generate the alfresco community war from the public github repos?

I tried building docker image from https://github.com/Alfresco/acs-community-packaging but mvn clean install fails as it refers to enterprise jars: 

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project alfresco-content-services-distribution: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.alfresco:alfresco-content-services-distribution:jar:7.0.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact org.alfresco:alfresco-enterprise-remote-api:jar:8.219 in alfresco-public (https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public

That's an expected error if you are generating war file unless you have access to alfresco enterprise private repos. 

Try running following maven command for generating community edition artifacts: 

mvn clean install -Pcommunity

ALONG with war and docker artifacts:

mvn clean install -Pcommunity,communityDocker

Thanks, mvn issue was due to repo used being acs-packaging instead of acs-community-packaging 

For extensions/configuration changes, is the suggested way via Platform extensions?

Also, could you direct me to some examples via docker image for it please?

Many thanks,

Yes you should be using extension points for any customizations. 

Extension points:
