AEM SDK

AEM author and publish docker images for AEMaaCS using the AEM SDK.

Using the image

The version should be in the original format like 2025.3.19823.20250304T101418Z-250200.

To pull the author image

docker pull ghcr.io/orbinson/aem-sdk:author-<version>

To run an AEM author on port 4502 with Java debugger on port 5005

docker run -p 4502:4502 -p 5005:14502 ghcr.io/orbinson/aem-sdk:author-<version>

To pull the publish image

docker pull ghcr.io/orbinson/aem-sdk:publish-<version>

To run an AEM publisher on port 4503 with Java debugger on port 5006

docker run -p 4503:4503 -p 5006:14503 ghcr.io/orbinson/aem-sdk:author-<version>

Development

First you need to get the artifacts from the private aem-sdk-artifacts repository.

git clone git@github.com:orbinson/aem-sdk-artifacts.git
git lfs pull

Or create the aem-sdk-artifacts directory and copy the artifacts there from your Downloads folder for example.

mkdir aem-sdk-artifacts
mv ~/Downloads/aem-sdk-*.zip aem-sdk-artifacts/

Afterward you can build the image, by default and author is built.

docker build . -t aem-sdk:author

And run the image with Java debugger on port 5005

docker run -p 4502:4502 -p 5005:14502 aem-sdk:author

To build the publish image, you need to specify the correct build arguments.

docker build \
  --build-arg RUNMODE=publish \
  --build-arg PORT=4503 \
  . -t aem-sdk:publish

And run the image with Java debugger on port 5006

docker run -p 4503:4503 -p 5006:14503 aem-sdk:publish
