This document discusses deploying the Liferay portal platform using Docker containers. It begins by introducing Liferay as an open source portal platform that allows aggregating web applications and content on a single page. It then describes how Liferay was traditionally deployed on physical or virtual servers before moving to discuss deploying Liferay as microservices using Docker containers. Docker is introduced as a platform to deploy applications in portable containers. The document concludes by providing a Docker template for deploying Liferay and listing some Docker tools for working with Docker containers and deploying the Liferay stack.

4. What is Liferay
 1. Liferay is a open source platform which allows you to create websites. You
can download and run it in no time.
2. To elaborate further, it's a Portal platform. A portal allows you to aggregate
content from different sources. So you can have multiple web applications
(Portlet applications) on the same page. Like blog, weather, wiki etc. Its also
easy to use the features / functionality as a service.
3. It comes bundled with great features out of the box like blogs, forums,
social networking, document and media manager etc. And plus you can
customize all this. For doing that you need to understand Portlet
development.
4. Liferay themes allow you to create great looking websites.

9. What is Docker?
 Docker is an open-source engine
to automate the deployment of
applications as self-contained,
portable containers independent
of hardware, language,
framework, packaging system
and hosting provider. Think of
it as building a sandbox with a
deployed, configured application
inside.

10. How Does Docker be Compatible with
Liferay
 Docker is a Platform Underneath a Application which you host on which you
can compare it as a Thin App Hypervisor which creates services on the fly.
 Docker deployments gives the flexibility to deploy huge app deployments
across multiple DC’s and Az’s which makes most of the Monkey Patchings and
Code Updates and release more feasible.
 The Services can be shared and tracked across the portal and Detection of
Resource within the code will be at a granular level which helps to debug
most of your portal applications
