Liferay production setup

hi,

I will like to understand that what setup do we follow for production environment for Liferay EE?

I do we use the Liferay with bundled tomcat? or do we deploy Liferay on tomcat?

Also can we bundle the Liferay application as installable product? if yes what consideration we should make?

with Regards

Depends upon your environment, what you already have (as far as application servers, etc). The tomcat bundle for EE will work, but you should review it for known security vulnerabilities and patch/upgrade as necessary.

Also can we bundle the Liferay application as installable product? if yes what consideration we should make?


If you're asking about reselling or bundling EE as a deployment of your own product, I don't think so, but this is something you'd have to take up w/ your sales rep.

I was loooking for recommendation as we have not started the setup for prod env yet.
But I will like to understand why I should review it for known security vulnerabilities and patch/upgrade as necessary? Is not when we buy EE it will be uptodate with these issue?

What I wanted to understand was, the custome portlets which we will developed can be installed as product or not? considering that the traget system has the Liferay EE env ready.

I recommend not using the application bundle packages because there's actually no documentation on how to maintain the application server once installed.
By installing application server and then deploying Liferay, you'll know exactly how the application server were installed.

There were some user complaining about not being able to apply security patches nor version their application server using the bundled packages.

If you're planning to bundled your portlet with Liferay and reselling it, I think you'll need Liferay's OEM license. Another option is (1) to become Liferay partner
and sell Liferay EE license with your portlet to customers (2) to have your customer purchase Liferay EE and then install your portlet (3) use CE instead of EE.

Hi Hitoshi,

Thanks for the suggestion we will consider this while preparing the environment.

If you're planning to bundled your portlet with Liferay and reselling it, I think you'll need Liferay's OEM license. Another option is (1) to become Liferay partner
and sell Liferay EE license with your portlet to customers (2) to have your customer purchase Liferay EE and then install your portlet (3) use CE instead of EE.


For the above suggestion, the option 2 will work for us. But have one query please clarify,

If we deploy the custom portlet in customer environment ,
1. How do we take care of administrative configuration deployment for the portlets. Specially if we have to maintain it for multiple customers?
2. Do we need to do the administrative configuration after deployment? (For every customer saperatly)
3. Can we take advantage of LAR utility.
