Dockerized HippoCMS local dev (with Hotswap Agent)

Experience Manager (PaaS/OnPrem)

Hello community,

This weekend I worked on a small side project of creating a local dev environment using docker instead of the default cargo.run profile. The project is at: https://github.com/bcanvural/hippo-hotswap
It has features like:

  1. Auto-export
  2. Hot-swap of classes using hotswap agent: http://hotswapagent.org/ (No need to set this up yourself)

I’d appreciate feedback!

Thanks for sharing this. I’m new to Hippo and Docker, but was able to build and run without any problems. I couldn’t get debug working, but I’m thinking it’s something I’ve done wrong.

thanks again for sharing.

Thanks for trying it out. For debugging, you can follow the documentation at: https://www.onehippo.org/library/development/develop-with-intellij.html (at the bottom, “debug your project” section)

I was able to get that working with using cargo.run, but not the docker image. It must be something on my end/setup.
