This module is part of the Apache Sling project.
The starter project produces feature artifacts that can be launched using the Feature Launcher.
It is not meant to be a production-ready setup, more as a way to facilitate experimenting and learning Sling.
See Releasing a new version of the Sling starter for how to create a release of this module.
NOTE: "mvn clean" deletes the "launcher" work directory in the project base directory. It is advisable to use a work directory outside of the project directory.
-
Build the Sling Starter using
mvn clean install
in the current directory.
-
Start Sling backed by an Oak SegmentStore with
java -jar target/dependency/org.apache.sling.feature.launcher.jar -f target/slingfeature-tmp/feature-oak_tar.json
-
Browse Sling in:
http://localhost:8080
For MongoDB support replace the launch command with
java -jar target/dependency/org.apache.sling.feature.launcher.jar -f target/slingfeature-tmp/feature-oak_mongo.json
This expects a MongoDB server to be running, search for mongodb://
in the feature files for the expected URL
(currently mongodb://localhost:27017
).
If you wish the extend the Sling Starter but would like to keep various application-level features out, you ca
start with the nosample_base
aggregate, which contains:
- all the base features
- Oak base features, without the NodeStore setup
- No applications ( Composum, Slingshot, etc )
For instance, launching an empty Sling Starter with segment persistence can be achieved by running
java -jar target/dependency/org.apache.sling.feature.launcher.jar -f target/slingfeature-tmp/feature-nosample_base.json,target/slingfeature-tmp/feature-oak_persistence_sns.json
Your own feature files can be added to the feature list.
