The NPE occurs at the configResource.openStream() call, so I guess the system is misconfigured. Maybe there’s a -Drepo.config value that does not start with “file”?

        if (!configPath.startsWith("file:")) {
            final URL configResource = LocalHippoRepository.class.getResource(configPath);
            log.info("Using resource repository config: " + configResource);
            try {
                return configResource.openStream();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                throw new RepositoryException("Failed to open repository configuration", e);
            }
        }

You can figure it out by setting log level to INFO of org.hippoecm.repository.LocalHippoRepository.
