Hi Everyone,
Using curl command to upload .jar to http://localhost:4502/system/console/bundles.  Tried multiple commands none of them worked for me. I don't see any command on adobe official documentation also for the same. Is even possible or I need to try any other way. Please provide if there is any other command.
curl -u admin:admin -F "bundleFile=@/path/to/your/my-bundle.jar" http://<AEM_HOST>:<PORT>/system/console/bundles/.json

Hi @tejaswini_c ,

 

I checked UI of system console and found that UI uploads bundle via form. You can send the following request to upload your .jar file (bundle).

 

HTTP method: POST

HTTP url: /system/console/bundles

HTTP header: Content-type: multipart/form-data

Body (form data):

  • action=install
  • refreshPackages=true
  • bundlestartlevel=20
  • file=<your jar file>

cURL command:

curl -X POST "http://localhost:4502/system/console/bundles" \ -u admin:admin \ -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \ -F "action=install" \ -F "refreshPackages=true" \ -F "bundlestartlevel=20" \ -F "file=@/path/to/your-bundle.jar"

 

Best regards,

Kostiantyn Diachenko.

    Hi @tejaswini_c ,

    To upload a .jar file (OSGi bundle) to the AEM console, you need to send a POST request with the correct form data. The following curl command will allow you to upload and install your bundle:

    Correct curl Command:

    curl -X POST "http://localhost:4502/system/console/bundles" \ -u admin:admin \ -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \ -F "action=install" \ -F "refreshPackages=true" \ -F "bundlestartlevel=20" \ -F "file=@/path/to/your/my-bundle.jar"

    Explanation of the Command:

    1. URL: http://localhost:4502/system/console/bundles

    Replace localhost:4502 with the appropriate host and port if your AEM instance is running on a different configuration.

    2. Authentication:

    -u admin:admin is for basic authentication. Make sure to replace admin:admin with your actual AEM username and password.


    3. Form Data:

    action=install: This tells AEM to install the bundle.
    refreshPackages=true: This ensures AEM refreshes the packages after installation.
    bundlestartlevel=20: Adjust the start level of the bundle according to your needs.
    file=@/path/to/your/my-bundle.jar: Replace /path/to/your/my-bundle.jar with the full path to your .jar file.

    Steps to Follow:

    1. Replace the file path: Ensure that the path to your .jar file is correct. Example: -F "file=@/Users/yourname/Downloads/my-bundle.jar"

    2. Run the Command: After running the curl command, AEM will accept the bundle and install it automatically.

    3. Confirm the Installation: Check the AEM console for any installation messages or errors. If successful, your bundle will be listed under the /system/console/bundles page.

    Important Notes:

    Ensure that the AEM instance is up and running.
    Verify that the user you're authenticating with has the necessary permissions to upload bundles.
    If your AEM instance is behind a proxy or firewall, make sure the required ports are open.

    Best Regards,
