Sitecore has been pretty public that 10.4 was coming in April and it seems to have just snuck in there! There’s a bunch of ways to roll out your local 10.4 environment: Docker SIA Manually (Don’t do this) I like to think of myself pretty saavy with the Docker, so I opted for the former:…
Next.js Multisite Addon Always Resolves to Default Site
The instances of Sitecore with more than one site are on the rise. SXA allows for templated Site and Tenant Management, and Sitecore even released a special Multisite Addon which handles all the resolution of sites by hostname, just like the way things used to be! This could have easily been Borat However, we were…
SPE Out-Download Gives a 401 Error
We recently setup a new local installation of Sitecore XM, with SPE, SXA, the whole deal. One of our developers was trying to export some content via the Out-Download command, which wasn’t working. For the sake of testing, we dumbed this query down to the absolute basic: “Hello World!” | Out-Download -Name hello-world.txt In theory,…
Virtual User Group Presentation – March 2024
Last week, I had the honor of presenting at the Virtual Sitecore Headless Development User Group, organized by Martin Miles. It was a great chance to throw down some knowledge on all the fun things you can do with SSG and ISR, things I find near and dear to my heart. Like cheeseburgers. And bacon…
Could not find property ‘alwaysExcludeVirtualFolder’
We recently had a new developer setup their local installation of a project which had been working for quite some time now. Everything went well, until their CM instance wouldn’t come up healthy. They saw the following in their log files: Message: Could not find property ‘alwaysExcludeVirtualFolder’ on object of type: Sitecore.Links.UrlBuilders.DefaultItemUrlBuilderOptions Source: Sitecore.Kernel at…
Using Solr Standalone for your Local
Sometimes I’m a smart guy. Then there’s other times. I’ll let you be the judge of which time that is. I’ve been doing docker for my local environment for a while. Enough to simplify the process and find something that works for me and for the dev team here. One of my devs, however has…
No Processes Listed when Debugging Docker Container
It’s no secret I’m a big fan of working with Docker on a local developer environment. The ability to quickly spin up a project and spin it down, the lack of 18 versions of solr running in conflict, the way docker just thrashes my concept of “I have plenty of Hard Drive to work”… It’s…
Docker Done Easy – XM with Headless SXA
Options. There’s always options. Some options, like paying to change your flight, suck. Some, like getting a free upgrade to first class…don’t suck. What does this have to do with Docker? Nothing, aside from the fact they are options. Anyway, I suck at intros to my blog posts, but it’s out of the way. Let’s…
Windows Hosts Writer v 2.0
It’s been quite a while since WHW has received an update. Michael West (yes, that Michael West) has been gracious enough to get things up to speed with the latest version of dotnet core, docker, and even made a few enhancements. I’m not going to regurgitate it here, as you can read about all the…
AKS Quality of Life: Warming your Containers in k8s
UPDATE: I totally forgot to put the source code link in here! https://github.com/RAhnemann/Container-Warmer If you’ve been around the docker block a little bit with Sitecore, you know by now that when a container is launched, it’s not really ready to do anything. It’s barely alive. In fact, Docker and k8s know this, and have a…
