Part of EPIC #698.
The golden path (npm init @jahia/module → docker compose up --wait → yarn dev) requires the jahia/jahia-ee:8.2 image — an Enterprise image expecting a license — before "hello world" renders, and first boot takes minutes. A developer evaluating the stack without a Jahia relationship stalls at the very first step. For comparison, npm create astro → first render is ~1 minute with zero accounts.
Directions to evaluate (product decision needed):
- A dev/trial flow: bundled trial license or self-service license in the getting-started docs, wired into the scaffolded compose (e.g.
JAHIA_LICENSE env var documented next to it).
- A lighter dev image (faster first boot, pre-provisioned engine) targeted at module developers rather than full platform evaluation.
- At minimum: the scaffolded compose and README should state the license requirement explicitly, so it fails at read time instead of at container boot.
