Greetings,
I'm using Alfresco 6.2.0-ga (Docker installation) in my VPS. It's running smothly but I always have this issue with my admin password gets changed randomly, and I have to reset it everytime from the Database.
I'm the only one who have the access to the VPS&Admin area, and when the password changes, I can't find anything in .bash_history.
There is not clear patters on when this happens, so I really confused.
Does anyone know this issue ? and is a complete reinstall would fix this issue?
Thank you in advice.
Never, never, never do any changes in Alfresco database. It is better to forget you have it.
To change admin password assign admin rights to known user and reset it in admin console.
Instructions here:
Hello,
I apologies, I think I reached a bad conclusion, the admin password did not change, I was just no able to login.
I'm running the docker image 6.2 on ubuntu 18.04, I checked http://localhost:8080/alfresco, and the link was not accessible, but http://localhost:8080/share was working.
I have checked docker ps, and all containers seems to be up.

I restared the docker-compose, and I was able to login again.
Can you please help me? I had this issue for months now, and I have reinstalled Alfresco on new server but the same issue persists.
Per your "docker ps" results, i dont see alfresco container running. This is the reason you are not able to login but you share login because share container is up and running correctly.
This could due to memory issues, At least 8 GB memory is required to run all containers.
Alfresco container seems to be getting crashed due to lack of memory.
Try 'docker stats' command and see the resource details and try increasing memory memory and restart all containers again.
You can find some additional details here:
Thank you for your reply.
My VPS had already 8 GB of RAM and 2 CPU, I have upgrade it to 16 GB and 4 CPU, but the same issue persists, I can't login to the admin.
I have augmented the memory limit for the alfresco container :

So the old issue seems to be fixed, the container does sno crash anymore, but when I visit http://myIP:8080/ I get this error:
Cannot find Alfresco Repository on this server. (Does this application have access to alfresco-global.properties? Does this application have cross-context permissions?)
This is a fresh installtion on a fresh Ubuntu 18.04, the only modifications I did was to augment the mem_limit.
I have checked the file /usr/local/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties in the root_alfresco_1 container, and I found it empty.
Can you pelase help me fix this issue.
Starnge, can you share your docker-compose.yml file and changes you made? I have not seen this error before.
Also regarding alfresco-global.properties, it would be empty unless you copy or update the global properties file during image build. All properties are set via java arguments like this:

Can you also try this latest version of docker-compose and see if you are still getting the same error:
https://github.com/Alfresco/acs-community-deployment/blob/master/docker-compose/docker-compose.yml
Hello,
I have the lastest docker-compose version, and the only modification I did was to change the ram from 1500m to 4000m.
Here is the file.

I think my VPS was down (the issue from Datacenter), when it was online again I ran docker-compose start
and I still have this issue.
I already have data in this installation, what should I do in this situation?
Please help. Thank you.
Your docker-compose file looks ok. I tried launching containers using your docker compose and it worked fine. I did not see any short of password change like situation. Its always admin:admin
Here is docker ps and docker stats outputs, notice the memory limit set by you highlighted in docker stats o/p.
Now you are saying you have data, where you are keeping data?
As per the docker compose you have shared, System will bootstrap always and all tables and samples site/users/groups etc. will be created everytime when you stop containers and start again. There are no volumes mounted so your content files/indexes etc. can be persisted.
Use docker volumes or bind mount to persist the content files/indexs/db data etc.
Thank you for your reply.
Unforutnatly I did not find a solution to the last issue, so I just restored an old backup.
I have one more last questions to ask you please.
About SMTP configurations, if I add the configuration in /usr/local/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties
Is docker restart the only thing nessecary ? or do I need to rebuild the containers like when changing docker-compose.yml?
Thank you again for your time and help.
I would suggest to keep all your properties in docker-compose.yml file under JAVA_OPTS, so that even if you stop and launch all containers again you won't loose any settings. Here is an example of outbound SMTP props:

You can use this image for testing: https://hub.docker.com/r/mwader/postfix-relay/
Docker-compose service:
