AEM/CQ cURL: Adding include/exclude rules to package filters

curlPackageFilterRules.sh

# Adding include/exclude rules to CQ/AEM package filters through cURL.

# Through a simple search, you will find numerous lists of CQ/AEM cURL commands.
# However, I haven't seen an example of adding rules to package filters. The
# JSON "rules" key takes an array value. You can leave the array empty if you
# don't need to include any rules. The array is of JSON objects with a
# "modifier" key and value of "include" or "exclude", and a "pattern" key with
# your path or regular expression as the value.

# create package
curl -u admin:admin -X POST http://localhost:4502/crx/packmgr/service/.json/etc/packages/my_packages/testpackage?cmd=create \
-d packageName=testpackage \
-d groupName=my_packages

# add filters
curl -u admin:admin -X POST http://localhost:4502/crx/packmgr/update.jsp \
-F path=/etc/packages/my_packages/testpackage.zip -F packageName=testpackage \
-F groupName=my_packages \
-F filter="[{\"root\" : \"/content/my-site\", \"rules\": [{\"modifier\" : \"exclude\", \"pattern\" : \"/content/my-site/(.*)/folder-to-exclude(/.*)?\"}]}]" \
-F '_charset_=UTF-8'

# build package
curl -u admin:admin -X POST http://localhost:4502/crx/packmgr/service/.json/etc/packages/my_packages/testpackage.zip?cmd=build

Made it to work on AEM 6.5
