Container Liferay 7 + tomcat + postgresql

This container has been prepared to support Liferay projets. It can also be used for Development purpose.

How to run it

You have to install docker-compose to run it.

Build:

• add the jdk and liferay tomcat bundles in the asset folder
  • "liferay-7-tomcat/assets/packages/" : Oracle JDK archive (jdk-8u<...>-linux-x64.tar.gz)
  • "liferay-7-tomcat/assets/packages/" : Liferay 7.x tomcat bundle .7z archive (liferay<...>.7z)
• Simply run "docker-compose up -d"

Run:

• afterwards can directly start/stop/restart the 2 created containers (starting with the git project name)
• Use the deploy

Connect:

• mapped ports on the local machine (remove the port mapping in the docker-compose.yml files if you want to connect directly)
• ssh to mount file system if needed ("sudo sshfs -o allow_other [email protected]:/opt/liferay /opt/liferay/docker/sshmount/ -p 22")

Adapt

• The whole tomcat configuration can be updated (Specific information for liferay container is in the liferay-7-tomcat folder. Look at the readme.md information)
  • "liferay-7-tomcat/assets/conf/portal-ext.properties" : can be updated with specific portal settings
  • "liferay-7-tomcat/assets/conf/data" : can be updated with specific files for import
  • "liferay-7-tomcat/assets/conf/tomcat/*" : can be updated with specific tomcat configurations (setenv, catalina.sh, etc...)

features

Port mapping:

• 45432 : postresql port, user lportal/lportal for the database connexion
• 40022 : ssh connexion. "admin" is the password for the root user
• 48080 : liferay, http://localhost:48080 to go on the server
• 49000 : liferay debug port
• 41311 : Liferay Felix shell for OSGI bundles management

SSHFS mount:

• The ssh server is usefull mainly for mouting the container file system

Tips

• Use a simple admin tool, portainer is a good one to manage containers on a local machine (https://portainer.io/)
• Specific information for liferay container is in the liferay-7-tomcat folder. Look at the readme.md information
