Liferay provides official Docker images for some Liferay products and seeks to certify the application container operation of Liferay software. Container runtime, storage, and networking elements necessary to the operation of Liferay software in a container environment are tested prior to the release of a Liferay Docker image, but the selection and configuration of these elements is the responsibility of the customer.

Support coverage for the official Liferay Docker images is distinct from virtualization and container technologies such as container orchestration engines, container runtimes, or container engines (e.g., Docker Engine or Kubernetes). For the support coverage of these technologies please see the Container and Virtualization Technologies article.

The application container operations are documented in the official documentation for Liferay products. Elements necessary to the operation of Liferay software in a container environment are documented at a basic, proof of concept level in our official Liferay Docker image documentation. Any issues reported with these necessary elements will be verified using these basic, proof of concept examples. Any issues which require a variation of this configuration or more advanced configuration are the responsibility of the customer.

While issues with the images may be reported, Subscription Services is not required to offer assistance with building the Liferay Docker images using the liferay-docker repository scripts. For Docker images created by parties other than Liferay, please see the Container and Virtualization Technologies article. For Docker images created using the Liferay Workspace see Child and Custom Images.
