+# How to set up Alfresco Transform Service
+
+By default, the _Alfresco Transform Service_ (from now ATS) is not included in the basic configuration of the projects generated making use of the Alfresco 
+SDK archetypes. 
+
+ATS is only supported in ACS Enterprise and it is distributed as a composition of Docker containers. The docker images required for ATS are available in the 
+private Alfresco [Quay.io](https://quay.io/) docker registry. You'll need your [Quay.io](https://quay.io/) account credentials to access the Docker images. 
+If you don't already have these credentials, contact [Alfresco Support](https://support.alfresco.com/).
+
+In order to properly configure ATS in a project generated using the Alfresco SDK archetypes it is required to execute 2 steps:
+1. Add the containers that conform ATS to the Docker compose file.
+2. Configure the properties that are required to properly set up ATS.
+
+## Adding the new containers
+
+* Locate the Docker compose file (usually at `PROJECT_ROOT_PATH/docker/docker-compose.yml`) and add the containers that conform ATS (`transform-router`, 
+`alfresco-pdf-renderer`, `imagemagick`, `libreoffice`, `tika`, `shared-file-store` and `activemq`):
+
+```
+services:
+...
+  transform-router:
+    image: quay.io/alfresco/alfresco-transform-router:0.5.0
+    environment:
+      JAVA_OPTS: " -Xms256m -Xmx512m"
+      ACTIVEMQ_URL: "nio://activemq:61616"
+      IMAGEMAGICK_URL: "http://imagemagick:8090"
+      PDF_RENDERER_URL: "http://alfresco-pdf-renderer:8090"
+      LIBREOFFICE_URL: "http://libreoffice:8090"
+      TIKA_URL: "http://tika:8090"
+      FILE_STORE_URL: "http://shared-file-store:8099/alfresco/api/-default-/private/sfs/versions/1/file"
+    links:
+      - activemq
+  alfresco-pdf-renderer:
+    image: quay.io/alfresco/alfresco-pdf-renderer:2.0.8
+    environment:
+      JAVA_OPTS: " -Xms256m -Xmx512m"
+      FILE_STORE_URL: "http://shared-file-store:8099/alfresco/api/-default-/private/sfs/versions/1/file"
+    ports:
+      - 8090:8090
+  imagemagick:
+    image: quay.io/alfresco/alfresco-imagemagick:2.0.8
+    environment:
+      JAVA_OPTS: " -Xms256m -Xmx512m"
+      FILE_STORE_URL: "http://shared-file-store:8099/alfresco/api/-default-/private/sfs/versions/1/file"
+    ports:
+      - 8091:8090
+  libreoffice:
+    image: quay.io/alfresco/alfresco-libreoffice:2.0.8
+    environment:
+      JAVA_OPTS: " -Xms256m -Xmx512m"
+      FILE_STORE_URL: "http://shared-file-store:8099/alfresco/api/-default-/private/sfs/versions/1/file"
+    ports:
+      - 8092:8090
+  tika:
+    image: quay.io/alfresco/alfresco-tika:2.0.8
+    environment:
+      JAVA_OPTS: " -Xms256m -Xmx512m"
+      FILE_STORE_URL: "http://shared-file-store:8099/alfresco/api/-default-/private/sfs/versions/1/file"
+    ports:
+      - 8093:8090
+  shared-file-store:
+    image: alfresco/alfresco-shared-file-store:0.5.1
+    environment:
+      JAVA_OPTS: " -Xms256m -Xmx512m"
+      scheduler.content.age.millis: 86400000
+      scheduler.cleanup.interval: 86400000
+    ports:
+      - 8099:8099
+    volumes:
+      - shared-file-store-volume:/tmp/Alfresco/sfs
+  activemq:
+    image: alfresco/alfresco-activemq:5.15.6
+    ports:
+      - 8161:8161 # Web Console
+      - 5672:5672 # AMQP
+      - 61616:61616 # OpenWire
+      - 61613:61613 # STOMP
+...
+```
+
+* Check that you haven't any port conflict with other services in the Docker compose file.
+* Add the new volume required for the shared file store (`alfresco/alfresco-shared-file-store`) in the Docker compose file:
+
+```
+volumes:
+  ...
+  shared-file-store-volume:
+    driver_opts:
+      type: tmpfs
+      device: tmpfs
+```
+
+## Adding the required configuration
+
+* Locate the _Alfresco global properties_ file for docker (usually at `PROJECT_ROOT_PATH/PROJECT_ARTIFACT_ID-platform-docker/src/main/docker/alfresco-global.properties`) 
+and add the ATS configuration properties:
+
+```
+# Alfresco Transform Service
+alfresco-pdf-renderer.url=http://alfresco-pdf-renderer:8090/
+jodconverter.url=http://libreoffice:8090/
+img.url=http://imagemagick:8090/
+tika.url=http://tika:8090/
+sfs.url=http://shared-file-store:8099/
+local.transform.service.enabled=true
+transform.service.enabled=true
+messaging.broker.url=failover:(nio://activemq:61616)?timeout=3000&jms.useCompression=true
+```
+
+* Remove the old value of the property `messaging.broker.url` in the same `alfresco-global.properties` file.
+
+Once this 2 modifications are done, rebuild and restart all the services (`run.sh/run.bat build_start`) and ACS will use ATS to execute remote transformations 
+asynchronously whenever possible.
