Specifying a different component repository - Alfresco Content Services - 23.4 - 23.4 - Ready - Alfresco - external

In case you want to use a different server/repository for a specific artifact to further customize your deployment, you can override the default URL in two ways:

You can change the value of component.repository key for the selected component, provided that the path to your custom artifact follows the conventional Maven2 Repository Layout. For example to change the repository of Content Services artifact you would:

Edit group_vars/all.yml:

acs:
  version: 7.2.1
  repository: "/alfresco-content-services-distribution"
  edition: Enterprise

to

acs:
  version: 7.2.1
  repository: "https://your.repo.com/path/to/your/artifacts"
  edition: Enterprise

In case you want to install a different ACS version (not latest), you should make similar changes to the respective *-extra-vars.yml file.

The other way is to override the URL completely:

In group_vars/all.yml you need to find the section under which the default download URL for the specific artifact is defined out of downloads, war_downloads and amp_downloads and override it, for example:

downloads:
  acs_zip_url: "https://your.repo.com/path/to/your/artifacts/your-alfresco-content-services-community-distribution.zip"
  acs_zip_sha1_checksum_url: "https://your.repo.com/path/to/your/artifacts/your-alfresco-content-services-community-distribution.zip.sha1"

Or:

war_downloads:
  - url: "https://your.repo.com/path/to/your/artifacts/your-api-explorer.war"
    sha1_checksum_url: "https://your.repo.com/path/to/your/artifacts/your-api-explorer.war.sha1"
    dest: "/web-server/webapps/api-explorer.war"

Or:

amp_downloads:
  - url: "https://your.repo.com/path/to/your/artifacts/your-alfresco-aos-module.amp"
    sha1_checksum_url: "https://your.repo.com/path/to/your/artifacts/your-alfresco-aos-module.amp.sha1"
    dest: "/amps_repo/alfresco-aos-module.amp"
