Use this information to verify that the system started correctly, and to clean up the deployment.

  1. Open a new terminal window.
  2. Change directory to the docker-compose folder that you created in the deployment steps.
  3. Verify that all the services started correctly.
    1. List the images and additional details using a Docker command:

      For the required Docker command, see the CLI reference section on the Docker Documentation site at https://docs.docker.com.

      A list of services defined in your docker-compose.yml file is displayed, including the Alfresco repository, Share, Postgres database, Transform Services, and Control Center.
    2. List the running containers using a Docker command.

      For the required Docker command, see the CLI reference section on the Docker Documentation site at https://docs.docker.com.

      A list of services defined in your docker-compose.yml file is displayed.
    3. View the log files for each service <service-name>, or container <container-name> using a Docker command.

      For the required Docker command, see the docker container logs section on the Docker Documentation site at https://docs.docker.com.

      For example, to check the logs for Share, run any of the following commands:

       docker-compose logs share
 docker container logs docker-compose-share-1

      You can add an optional parameter before <container-name> to display the last 25 lines of the logs for the selected container.

      For the required parameter, see the docker container logs section on the Docker Documentation site at https://docs.docker.com.

  4. Once you have tested the services, stop the session by using CONTROL+C in the same window as the running services
    Note: Alternatively, you can open a new terminal window, change directory to the docker-compose folder, and stop the session by using a Docker command. For the required Docker command, see the CLI reference section on the Docker Documentation site at https://docs.docker.com.
    The running services are stopped and removed from memory.

    You can use a few more commands to stop all running containers, stop all running containers and remove them and the network, or restart the containers. For the specific Docker command, see the Docker Documentation site at https://docs.docker.com.

    Note: Before running any Docker command, change directory to the docker-compose folder.
