2. Alfresco installation as Docker containers is carried out using the following docker-compose file.
root@debian:/opt# cat docker-compose.yml
# This docker-compose file will spin up an ACS cluster on a local host or on a server and it requires a
minimum of 16GB Memory to distribute among containers.
# Limit container memory and assign X percentage to JVM. There are couple of ways to allocate JVM
Memory for ACS Containers
# For example: 'JAVA_OPTS: "$JAVA_OPTS -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:
+UseCGroupMemoryLimitForHeap"'
# But, as per Oracle docs (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/gctuning/parallel-collector1.htm#JSGCT-
GUID-CAB83393-3438-44ED-98F0-D15641B43C7D)
# If container memory is not explicitly set, then the above flags will default max heap to 1/4th of
container's memory which may not be ideal.
# Hence, setting up explicit Container memory and then assigning a percentage of it to the JVM for
performance tuning.
# Using version 2 as 3 does not support resource constraint options (cpu_*, mem_* limits) for non swarm
mode in Compose
