Docker image for running GitHub Pages / Jekyll projects.
GitHub Pages are public webpages hosted and published directly through your GitHub repository.
This image makes it easy to run you GitHub Pages page locally while developing โ
refreshing chanes automaticly as you make them. All you need to do is to mount
your page in a volume under /usr/src/app
like this:
$ docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/usr/src/app -p "4000:4000" starefossen/github-pages
Remember to add all the gems to your _config.yml
file in order to get all the
different things to work correctly:
repository: your/repo
gems:
- jekyll-github-metadata
- jekyll-mentions
- jekyll-redirect-from
- jekyll-sitemap
- jemoji
The starefossen/github-pages
images come in two flavors, each designed for a
specific use case.
starefossen/github-pages:<version>
This is the defacto image. If you are unsure about what your needs are, you probably want to use this one. It is designed to be used both as a throw away container (mount your source code and start the container to start your app), as well as the base to build other images off of.
starefossen/github-pages:onbuild
This image makes building derivative images easier. For most use cases, creating
a Dockerfile
in the base of your project directory with the line FROM starefossen/github-pages:onbuild
will be enough to create a stand-alone image
for your project.
