Lucee 6.2 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

Lucee is the leading open source CFML (ColdFusion Markup Language) application server. It executes .cfm and .cfc applications on the Java Virtual Machine and is a lightweight, permissively licensed engine for CFML workloads. This cloudimg image deploys Lucee 6.2.7.16 as the ROOT web application on Apache Tomcat 9.0.120 and the system OpenJDK 21. It is purpose built for Microsoft Azure, hardened, security patched, and validated before publication, and backed by 24/7 expert support.

Lucee runs as a systemd service behind an nginx reverse proxy on port 80, with an unauthenticated health endpoint for load balancer probes. There is no shipped default password: a unique Server Administrator password is generated on the first boot of every instance and stored in a root only file, so no known or blank credential authenticates. The Tomcat connector binds to the loopback interface, so only ports 22 and 80 need to be opened.

A demo page renders live CFML on first boot, showing the Lucee version, the runtime information and a computed loop, so you can confirm the engine is executing code. From the browser the Lucee Server Administrator lets you configure datasources, mappings, caches, mail and scheduled tasks. Deploy your own application by dropping .cfm and .cfc files into the web root or by configuring a mapping. The base is Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with unattended security upgrades enabled.
