Steps

1. Download and then extract the XWiki WAR into a directory named xwiki and call it [XWIKI_HOME].
2. Create a permanent data directory on your host machine and call it [XWIKI_PERMDIR].
3. Run the Jetty Docker container and mount both directories:

   docker run
   -v [XWIKI_HOME]:/var/lib/jetty/webapps/xwiki
   -v [XWIKI_PERMDIR]:/var/lib/jetty/xwiki-data
   -p 8080:8080
   jetty:12-jre21
   -Dxwiki.data.dir=/var/lib/jetty/xwiki-data

4. Optionally remove -Dxwiki.data.dir=/var/lib/jetty/xwiki-data if you configure the permanent directory in XWiki instead:

   [XWIKI_HOME]/WEB-INF/xwiki.properties
   environment.permanentDirectory=/var/lib/jetty/xwiki-data

5. Ensure a database is available for XWiki. For quick testing, you can copy the HSQLDB JDBC JAR into WEB-INF/lib.
6. Start Jetty with the required modules enabled:

   docker run
   ...
   jetty:12-jre21
   --module=ee10-apache-jsp,ee10-deploy,ee10-websocket-jakarta
