Sample script to build Alfresco Docker Images for ARM64 (Apple Silicon M1)

Alfresco Docker Image ARM64 Builder

This project provides a sample script to build Alfresco Docker Images for Apple Silicon (M1). This tool is oriented for Alfresco Developers that use Docker Images in their development workflow.

Alfresco doesn't provide ARM64 Docker Images and this configuration is not officially supported by Alfresco.

Requirements

Following software is required to be installed:

• Mac OS X
• docker buildx
• maven
• java
• git

Building

Syntax

Available Alfresco Docker Images can be selected by using command line arguments.

$ ./buildx.sh [-repo] [-share] [-search]

Sample execution

The process will take a while, but it will pull to your local Docker Repository all the Images selected by appending an "-arm64" suffix the the name.

$ ./buildx.sh -repo -share -search

Using ARM64 Docker Images

Once the images are available in your local Docker Repository, you can modify local Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml files (like the ones used by the Alfresco SDK) to use the new Docker Images.

For instance, change this line...

FROM alfresco/alfresco-content-repository-community

... by this other

FROM alfresco-content-repository-community-arm64
