⁠Why we built this image

Setting up Liferay on Developer / QA machines or for demo environment takes time due to

• Installation of different servers which may take time
• Liferay Community application server
• MySQL Server (database)
• Elastic Search Server (if we setup up Remote elastic search server instead of an embedded one)
• Setting up and configurations of all three servers
• First time server startup takes time as it creates database tables and loads up sample data.

Our aim is to provide an image, that can be downloaded and run as it is. None of the above three steps should be required.

⁠What will this docker image contain

• All three servers (Liferay / MySQL/ Elastic Search) installed / setup and pre-configured.
• MySql Server Login Credential
  • User: root
  • Password: root
  • Database: testdb
• Default tables and sample data is pre-loaded.
• Default Admin Login in Liferay
  • User: [email protected]⁠
  • Password : test
• Following ports have been exposed to connect from host machine
• 3306 - MySQL Server
• 8080 - Liferay Application
• 9200 - Elastic Search
• 9300 - Elastic Search
• 8000 - Remote Debug for Tomcat
• User auto-created within docker
• Username: user
• Password: welcome
