  1. After the restart, open Docker Desktop. The Docker Whale Symbol should also appear in your bottom toolbar.


Step 2: Hosting Liferay – Docker Compose

The FIMS is operated on a software platform called Liferay. The next step is to host the Liferay platform through docker using Docker Compose

Familiarization with Docker Compose and Hosting of Liferay

  1. Open Docker Desktop and command prompt
  2. Follow the instructions given on the following link to carry out an exercise to practice using Docker Compose.

Download Files from Drop Box

  1. Download the docker-compose.yml file, Backup and Volumes folder onto your local directory with the same directory structure as on the dropbox

Hosting Liferay

  1. Open Docker Desktop
  2. Open Command prompt and navigate to the directory (cd prompt) containing the saved files from step 1 (docker-compose, backup, volumes)
  3. In command prompt, start the application by running docker-compose up -d
  4. Goto Local Host in a browser to see the application running. At this stage this will show the Liferay platform home screen. Part 3 will explain how to install/restore the Forest Information Management System onto the Liferay platform.
