[FIXED] AEM clean install -PautoInstallPackage with Jenkins in docker

Issue

Situation :

• I set up Jenkins with docker, to install package on AEM instance.
• In my pom.xml, 'targetURL' of profile 'autoInstallPackage' is "http://localhost:4502/crx/packgmr/service.jsp".

Problem :

• When I set 'targetURL' with IP address, it works.
• When I set 'targetURL' with 'localohost', it fails.

What I want to do :

• Run 'autoInstallPackage' targetURL with 'localhost', not IP address.

I guess the cause is this (not sure) :

• Jenkins is running inside docker, so the docker container could be considered as 'localhost'.

Please help me. Thank you.

Solution

Your guess is right. The localhost exists only inside the container.

To bypass this behaviour you can run the docker image as so:

docker run --network host --name jenkins your_jenkins_image

The --network host param will cause the docker container to use the dns of the host machine (the machine running docker).
