You can download and install Node.js from official web page:

https://nodejs.org/en/download/

Or you can use any of the package managers provided by the product:

https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/

Once Node.js is installed, you can install Yeoman as a module:

$ npm install -g yo

And finally, you can install this generator:

$ npm install --global generator-beflex-content-docker-installer

Deployment is provided for Docker Compose, so following dependencies must be satisfied by the server used to run the generated configuration:

• Docker
• Docker Compose

You can install Docker Desktop for Windows or Mac and Docker Server for Linux.

https://docs.docker.com/install/

You need also to add Docker Compose program to your installation.

https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/

Running

Create a folder where Docker Compose template files are going to be produced and run the generator.

$ mkdir docker-compose
$ cd docker-compose

$ yo beflex-content-docker-installer

Several options are provided in order to build the configuration.

? Which ACS version do you want to use (6.2 is EA only)? 6.1

Currently Alfresco Community 6.1 is final, but 6.2 is stil Early Access. If you are planning a longer evaluation, don't use 6.2 by now.

? How may GB RAM are available for Alfresco (8 is minimum required)? 8

Alfresco platform could work with less than 8 GB RAM, but it's recommended to provide at least 8 GB in your Docker server. This generator will limit the amount of memory for every service in order to match your resources.

? Are you using different languages (this is the most common scenario)? Yes

By default, many organisations are storing document in different languages or the users are accessing the platform with browser configured in different languages. If this is your case, enable this configuration.

? Select the addons to be installed:
  JavaScript Console 0.6                 : https://github.com/share-extras/js-console
  Order of the Bee Support Tools 1.0.0.0 : https://github.com/OrderOfTheBee/ootbee-support-tools
  Alfresco Permission 1.18              : https://github.com/bcircle/alfresco-permission

A small catalog of trusted addons is provided by default, but you can install any other using the deployment folders.

? Do you want to install beFlex Content Report (zeppelin)? Yes

Zeppelin must be installed.

Deploying additional addons

If you want to deploy additional addons, use deployment folders for Alfresco and Share services.

Alfresco

├── alfresco
│   ├── modules             > Deployment directory for addons
│   │   ├── amps            > Repository addons with AMP format
│   │   └── jars            > Repository addons with JAR format

Share

└── share                   
    └── modules             > Deployment directory for addons

        └── jars            > Share addons with JAR format

Using Docker Compose

Once the files have been generated, review that configuration is what you expected and add or modify any other settings. After that, just start Docker Compose.

$ docker login reg.bcecm.com
$ docker-compose up --build --force-recreate -d

You can shutdown it at any moment using following command.

$ docker-compose down

Following folder structure is generated when Docker Compose is running. Depending on the configuration selected, some folders cannot be available in your server.
