I've been using Alfresco Community Edition for years on MacOS and Linux. My last successful deployment was ver. 5.0.a on MacOS Sierra. I recently updated to High Sierra, and as expected this broke Alfresco. Unfortunately, I failed to do due dilligence before the upgrade, and moved forward believing that an upgrade to the latest version of Alfresco would be similar to past upgrades.
I have now tried to install Alfresco 6.2 GA using Docker on MacOS High Sierra and Windows 10 without success. The "docker-compose up" script runs for hours without completing. It's getting hung up when these warnings are logged:

It was recommended in this thread that the "Can't find resource 'solrconfig_insight.xml'" warning can be resolved by using a different download of the .yml file from GitHub. I downloaded that version, compared it to the file I had downloaded previously, and found that it differed only in the versions of several images; in my original download, alfresco-pdf-renderer, imagemagick, libreoffice, tika and transform-misc were all version 2.1.0, and in the new .yml, they are all verion 2.1.1. Running "docker-compose up" against the newer file gives the same results. It looks like the first failed container I tried to remove might not have been removed completely, because the reinstall script reported that a number of files already existed.
Any suggestions on how to correct the errors and get a successful install?
I'd say this is not the main error. Does all containers start up properly? Can you acces to alfresco, share, solr and t-engines?
Also, check this project to get a working docker-compose file.
Hi @dcorsello,
I installed 6.2 ga on my Mac this week using the script @narkuss referred to. The only issues I encountered were:
After that, everything seems to be fine.
docker-compose up gets everything up and running
docker ps to see the containers
docker-compose stop - stops everything w/o destroying the containers. docker-compose -start starts it all up again.
HTH
