Sitecore 2021 Virtual Developer Day Session: "Create your first Sitecore Docker based customer solution"

Points from session by Christian Hahn:

A blueprint repo to build Customer projects using Docker.

Christian's Blueprint Repo

Compare different existing docker examples:

1. Getting Started template:

- Doesn't follow helix 

- No config transform


2. MVP Site:

- Helix -based

- No config transform

- Its a fully implemented site

- so a lot of cutdown needed to use for a Customer project


3. Docker Examples:

- has config transforms

- xConnect example

- no helix pattern


Approach followed by Christian for implementing customer solution?

1. Getting started example - xp0 with rendering host

2. take mvp site and compare diff

3. make solution helix compliant

4. Look at docker examples for additional modules like SPE

End result: Blueprint solution repo:


Rendering Host support:


Lot of refactoring to follow helix practices


Different Branches:
