Preparing the filesystem and database - Alfresco Content Services - 23.4 - 23.4 - Ready - Alfresco - external

This folder can be located anywhere, but you need to make sure that the user account under which Tomcat will run has full read/write access to this location.

In a clustered environment, this folder needs to be shared between all cluster nodes.

It’s good security practice to create a new user account for Content Services which only has permissions to this database.

For PostgreSQL, run the following commands:

createdatabase alfresco encoding 'utf8';
 createrole alfresco LOGIN password 'alfresco';
 grantallondatabase alfresco to alfresco;
