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.

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.

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
