This is a configuration file for building live previews of AEM on Tugboat CI for every pull or merge request.

1. An account on Tugboat.ci. The free tier most likely won't have enough RAM to run AEM. Instead, request a trial of at least a "Plus" tier.
2. A copy (JAR file) of AEM and a license. See here for details.

After your Tugboat account is created and wired up to a new repos or a forked version of this repos, it's time to set up the necessary environment variables. We'll be creating two variables. The first one is LICENSE_PROPERTIES followed by AEM_FILE_URL.

LICENSE_PROPERTIES is a base64 encoded version of the license.properties file. That text file will look something like this:

license.downloadID=unique-string
license.customer.name=your-name

To enocde the file, run: base64 ./license.properties > license64.properties

Now, take the contents of license64.properties and add that as the value of the LICENSE_PROPERTIES environment variable.

AEM_FILE_URL is the private URL for Tugboat download the JAR file you've been authorized to use. The file name will likely be something like "AEM_6.5_Quickstart.jar".

The Preview takes some time to build, but once it's done you can hit new site and login using the default credentials of admin:admin.

That's it. For more information check out the Tugboat documentation to see what else you can do. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out on Slack.
