How to use/install

AEM as a Cloud Service

To deploy WKND to AEM as a Cloud Service, this project's source code must be deployed to AEM via Cloud Manager.

1. Clone this Git repository
2. Push the main branch to your Cloud Manager's Git repository
3. Ensure a deployment pipline is configured to deploy the target branch/repo to the desired AEM as a Cloud Service env
4. Run the Cloud Manager pipeline
5. WKND will now be deployed to the target AEM as a Cloud Service environment

Local development (AEM 6.5 or AEM SDK)

Pre-compiled AEM packages are available under the latest release for easy installation on local environments using CRX Package Manager

• aem-guides-wknd.all-x.x.x.zip: AEM as a Cloud Service, default build

Notes

WKND Sample Content

By default, sample content from ui.content.sample will be deployed and installed along with the WKND code base. The WKND reference site is used for demo and training purposes and having a pre-built, fully authored site is useful. However, the behavior of including a full reference site (pages, images, etc...) in source control is unusual and is not recommended for a real-world implementation.

Including ui.content.sample will overwrite any authored content during each build. If you wish to disable this behavior modify the filter.xml file and update the mode=merge attribute to avoid overwriting the paths.

- <filter root="/content/wknd" />
+ <filter root="/content/wknd" mode="merge"/>
