When starting CQ 5.6 author and publisher instances for the first and subsequent times, how can we provide them with an IP address rather than localhost?

[LinearGradient]

Hi,

I am working on Dockerizing our CQ 5.6 deployment for local development.

For local development, we have 1 author instance, 1 publisher instance, 1 author dispatcher, and 1 publisher dispatcher.

The author instance is assigned an IP address of 192.168.78.1 and the publisher is assigned an IP address of 192.168.78.2.

When I start the instances for the first (and subsequent) time(s), how can I configure them so that they know they should communicate via the given IP addresses rather than localhost?

Thanks.

Hi,

You can do this by setting the transportUri property of /etc/replication/agents.author/publish/jcr:content and /etc/replication/agents.author/publish_reverse/jcr:content

e.g. with curl

curl -F"transportUri=http://192.168.78.2:4503/bin/receive?sling:authRequestLogin=1" -u admin:admin http://192.168.78.1:4502/etc/replication/agents.author/publish/jcr:content

This would first require testing that AEM was up (or otherwise looping until the curl command returned 200)
