WSL2 Setup

To use this for a local development environment, you can run this container in a WSL2 Ubuntu instance.

Prerequisites

• Install WSL2
• Install Ubuntu 20.04 (ARM64)

  # run in administrator powershell
  Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://aka.ms/wslubuntu2004 -OutFile Ubuntu.appx -UseBasicParsing 
  Import-Module Appx -usewindowspowershell 
  Add-AppxPackage .\Ubuntu.appx 
  

You can additionally use the .wslconfig file to limit the amount of resources used by WSL. See References for more information.
Example .wslconfig:

[wsl2]
processors=2
memory=4GB

Setup

1. Copy the wsl2-docker-bootstrap.sh script to your Ubuntu WSL2 instance
   a. run under your user, not root
2. Run the script
   a. ./wsl2-docker-bootstrap.sh
   b. enter your user password if prompted
3. Verify docker is installed
   a. docker -v
   b. service docker status

Initial Run

0. Open your Ubuntu WSL2 instance after running the bootstrap script
1. Start the container for the first time:
   a. docker run -p 4502:4502 -it alpine3.15-aem6.5.11author
2. Wait until the instance is up and you can confirm connection
   a. check either http://localhost:4502 or http://127.0.0.1:4502 to verify AEM is running
   b. additionally, verify from packmgr that the service pack is installed
3. From the WSL2 terminal, enter CTRL + C to stop the instance
4. Once the prompt returns, verify the container with docker ps -a
   a. this should show all the container information b. write down the NAME of the container for future usage

Additional Runs

Check if your container is running:
docker ps -a

Start your container:
docker start container_name_here

Stop your container:
docker stop container_name_here

Startup Job [BROKEN]

If you'd like the container to run every time you open the instance, you can install the following cron job:
@reboot cd ~ && docker start container_name_here
