Liferay Folder structure
DATA By default, Liferay DXP uses a document library store option called Simple File Store to store documents and media files on a file system (local or mounted). The store’s default root folder is [Liferay Home]/data/document_library . You can specify a different root directory from within System Settings . Reference : https://help.liferay.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017895932-Document-Repository-Configuration elasticsearch-sidecar (seperate JVM , Not embedded) The Liferay Tomcat bundles installed via a ZIP file or Docker image include an Elasticsearch node that starts with Liferay. The node in Liferay 7.3+ runs in a separate JVM as a sidecar server and the node in Liferay 7.2 is embedded in the Liferay server. The Elasticsearch server is accessible at these URLs: http://localhost:9201 on Liferay 7.3+ http://localhost:9200 on Liferay 7.2
