Easily way to designer workflows for Alfresco Content Services - editor

I know the Alfresco Process Services are not free, so what's the best option (Free) for development (BMP Designer) workflows for run direct into Alfresco Community?
I tried without success:
Activiti Plugin for Eclipse, but it required a hard work to make flows, forms and to export to Alfresco Community.
Activiti Community (web platform), but is not compatible with Alfresco content Services workflow engine.
How can I easily designer my flows for run in Alfresco Content Services (Community)?

Kubernetes. ASP.NET containers with Wix installer

What I have:
Application based on near 10 microservices created with ASP.NET Core. One of them is Web server. Wix installer is used to create Windows installer.
What is required:
Migrate application to Kubernetes so all benefits in form of Scalability, load balancing, self healing would be present.
Complications:
Kubernetes does not run on Windows containers in Windows Professional. As an alternative - Windows server, but technology is raw, without much docs and complicates running on dev machines.
As an alternative - setup Linux environment, but in this case Wix installer may not work or requires major changes.
So how such ASP.NET microservices app with Wix installer can be run on Kubernetes?

What is the difference between Flask and Docker?

I am lost in these words. Watched a lot of videos and articles. But I am not able to understand the difference. Flask helps me to create web interface which can be used only on my local system. But what does docker do? Does it make the application visible to world with url? Requesting answer in very simple words..
Flask is a web framework in that it provides an API for the python language with which web applications can be built, such as a website or a backend service.
Docker is a containerization tool which deals with the deployment of applications and the environment in which they run. Docker provides a lightweight alternative to Virtual Machines - a lightweight software environment in which an application can run independently, with dependencies handled by Docker. Docker environments can vary in operating system, the programming language of the application being deployed, and more.
I may, for example, build a web application in python using libraries provided by the flask API, then deploy the application on a server in a docker environment running a Windows Operating system.

What is the best way to host a MicroService .net core web api in Docker?

I have several micro services that I would like to dockerized them. Is it better to build them in a self-hosted console application or build asp.net web application?
Which one is faster?
My MicroServices are only simple Web Api.
Just gonna give you my experience on this, not necessarily a 'complete answer':
If you create a .NET Core WEB API in Visual Studio and 'Add Docker support', you can directly deploy them to regular AppServices (specify 'Linux' as the operating system when you CREATE the AppService).
The Visual Studio wizard will automatically setup the container registry for your images, and configure the appservice to deploy whenever there's a new tag for your image.
I've also migrated this same Web API to deploy to a Windows AppService without docker, we didn't need to change any of the code, just deploy it without docker as a regular web app.
Which means if you build this as a .NET CORE 2 Web API you can deploy the same code to either a Linux Appservice using Docker or to a regular Appservice.
If you're planning to use anything different than AppServices tho, you might want to check Container services or Service Fabric, which IIRC is more expensive (would make sense if you need to scale this massively)

How to bundle Electron application and windows service together?

I am very new with electron application. I need some help with election installation.
I have an Electron desktop application and a windows service.
I can start and stop my pre installed services by using sudo-prompt package.
I am creating windows installer by using electron-winstaller package.
But I want to bundle my windows service along with my electron application. My requirement is when I install my electron package then it should install my service also, when I uninstall my package then that service should be uninstalled.
Please help me out. Any clue, Any suggestions will be appreciated.
If you think this should be achieved with something else then please do suggest me.
Electron's windows installer packager strikes me a specific case tool that would likely hit limitations in scenarios like this. I would use a general case tool instead such as the Free and Open Source Windows Installer XML Toolset aka WiX. I would also use with that another FOSS application called Industrial Strength Windows Installer XML aka IsWiX.
WiX allows you to describe and build MSI databases using an XML/XSD domain specific language. It supports MSBuild for easy integration with your CI/CD pipeline. IsWiX* is a set of project templates and graphical designers that provide an opinionated project structuring (scaffolding) and greatly speeds up the learning curve and implementation. For example, this installer you describe could be done without writing a single line of XML.
For more information see: https://github.com/iswix-llc/iswix-tutorials
The desktop-application and windows-service tutorials should** show you everything you need to know to author this installer. Basically follow the desktop-application all the way through and then skip to the final portion of the windows-service tutorial where you define the windows service.
I'm the maintainer of IsWiX
** This assumes your service exe is a proper Windows service that interfaces with the windows service control manager. If it's really just a console app that runs as a service you will need to include a program such as srvany.exe. This will require one line of hand crafted XML to extended the service definition in the registry with the proper command line value to be passed to your exe. An example can be found here: Wix installer to replace INSTSRV and SRVANY for user defined service installation

Deploying Websharper Application from Visual Studio 2012

So as a beginner to the entire Visual Studio IDE and a beginner to F# and the F# based WebSharper, I have certain issues on the system. I use the 'Ctrl+F5' to test the application. Now what do I do if I want to package the application and deploy it on another server, say apache server? Assuming the basic example here has just the .js files and HTML files, where do I find the generated web pages and/or .js files or how do I generate them.
If you created the application using the HTML Site template you’ll find the HTML bundle in the project’s bin folder. You can deploy WebSharper applications built using this template on any server you prefer. If you used one of the Web Application templates (Sitelets, ASP.NET, …) you have the choice between Windows hosting and following these instructions to host the application using Mono on a Linux box running nginx.
When it comes to Windows hosting, AppHarbor is a great choice for deploying WebSharper apps and you can use one of these two templates which both build on AppHarbor to jumpstart your project:
WebSharperMVC
WebSharperBootstrap
