Try the OpenCms Docker image

OpenCms and Docker

We are happy to announce the availability of the official OpenCms image in the Docker registry.

Our Docker image gives you a standard OpenCms system with demo content to be used for evaluation and testing purposes. This is an automated build that includes Tomcat and mySQL.

At the moment this image is meant mostly for development, testing and evaluation purposes. This is why it is called 'simple' in the Docker/GitHub repo. We are working to improve the image with better security, data backup and configuration enhancements so that it can be used in production environments. Stay tuned!

What is Docker and why should you care?

Docker is an open platform for distributed applications. Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols provides a nice explanation for the fast rising popularity of Docker in his blog on ZDnet:

"In a nutshell, here's what Docker can do for you: It can get more applications running on the same hardware than other technologies; it makes it easy for developers to quickly create, ready-to-run containered applications; and it makes managing and deploying applications much easier. Put it all together and I can see why Docker is riding the hype cycle as fast as I can recall ever seeing an enterprise technology go."

  • OpenCms 16 brings the new app "Unused contents" that allows to find and delete content that is not actively used on any container page. It is now possible to select between several individual detail pages in the same website based on categories of the detail content. It can now be enforced that all content managers must set a new password after the next login. The default Mercury template brings several new features, e.g. the "Image tile display" formatter for the "Tabs / accordion" element.
