I went back to the drawing board on this and came up with a much better
version. There's still some areas to polish, but a lot of the basic stuff
is there. This new CMS extensively uses Sling concepts and tools including:
- Sling Post Servlet
- Sling Mappings
- Sling Resource Merger
- Sling Rewriter
- Sling i18n Support
- Composum
It's available as a Sling Application runnable JAR and a docker image. You
can build the docker image pretty easily by:
1. Adding the following entries into your /etc/hosts:
- [docker-machine-ip] cms.sling.apache.org
-
[docker-machine-ip] sling2.apache.org
2. Checking out the Whiteboard project:
https://github.com/apache/sling-whiteboard/
3. Navigating to cms/docker
4. Running the command: docker build -t org.apache.sling.cms .
5. Running the command: docker run -d -p 80:80 org.apache.sling.cms
6. You can then open your browser to cms.sling.apache.org and in a few
moments, Sling CMS will be available.
7. With the provided /etc/hosts configuration, if you create a site
called sling-apache-org it will be available at the url sling2.apache.org
I put together a short video showing the process:
