We are going to deploy Liferay Community Edition Portal 7.0.3 GA on a Docker container. It can be used as a Development environment, easy and quick to create and recreated. We will create a network for our container, some volumes, a Database Image based on Mysql 5.7, and the Liferay Image.
NOTE: This articule explain with some details the process about how to create the Docker Liferay environment, if you just want to use a Docker LiferayCommunityEdition, go to https://github.com/felix-centenera/LiferayCommunity7.0.3Docker, and follow README.me documentation ;).
You can download all the project from https://github.com/felix-centenera/LiferayCommunity7.0.3Docker.git
Network:
Create a simple bridge network.
$ docker network create liferay-net
Database mysql 5.7 image:
Create the next structure of folders and files:
-dbmysql (Folder)
– -sql-scripts (Folder)
– – -liferaydb.sql (File)
– -Dockerfile (File)
liferaydb.sql:
CREATE USER 'liferay' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'liferay'; create database liferaymysql character set utf8; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON liferaymysql.* TO 'liferay'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Dockerfile:
FROM mysql:5.7 # Add a database ENV MYSQL_DATABASE company # Add the content of the sql-scripts/ directory to your image # All scripts in docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/ are automatically # executed during container startup COPY ./sql-scripts/ /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/
Create the Database Image based on Mysql 5.7 (The script sql create will be included in the image, the script will create all resources required by Liferay):
$ cd dbmysql $ docker build -t mysql_liferay:1.0 .

Create the Liferay Image based on CentOS 7.5 :
$ cd appliferay $ docker build -t liferaycommunity7.0.3:1.0 .
Run mysql_liferay:1.0 based on MYSQL:5.7
It will create the container and create the volumen mysql_volumen
$ docker run -t -d --net liferay-net --name mysql_dev -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=test -v mysql_volumen:/var/lib/mysql --publish 0.0.0.0:3306:3306 mysql_liferay:1.0
Run liferaycommunity7.0.3:1.0 based on CentOS:7.5
It will create the container and create the volumens data_volumen, osgi_volumen.
$ docker run -it -d --net liferay-net --name liferay_dev -v data_volumen:/opt/liferay-portal/data -v osgi_volumen:/opt/liferay-ce-portal-7.0-ga4/osgi --publish 0.0.0.0:8080:8080 liferaycommunity7.0.3:1.0
Follow the logs of Liferay to check that it start properly, you will see the next trace “INFO [main] org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start Server startup in 151102 ms”:
$ docker logs --follow <Container_ID>
Access to Liferay WebConsole
user: test@liferay.com
password: test
Deploy a theme:
You can deploy a theme in your liferay container, just download the theme, and copy into the container deploy folder.
docker cp Liferay\ 1975\ London\ Theme.lpkg 087d89c1719e:/opt/liferay-portal/deploy
Create a site with the new Theme:
Navigate to Sites, and add a new one base on the new theme.
Check the new theme already working in the new site:
Notes:
You can stop and start your container as much as you want, you will not lose the data, but as we create volumes for some of the data, you can delete the containers and recreated with the volumes and your data will be there. We did not create a volume for /opt/liferay-portal/tomcat/webapps, so if you deploy specif components as webapps for Liferay and you would like to keep this information in a persistent volume, just create Liferay container with the option -v webapps_volumen: /opt/liferay-portal/tomcat/webapps.
You can login in the container with the next command:
docker exec -it <container_ID> /bin/bash
