Jekyll on Docker

All the goodness from Jekyll, zero gems hassle

This tool provides a container-as-a-binary that will pass every option it is run with to the underlying ephemeral container where Jekyll is really installed.

Requirements

• Docker

Installation

Use make:

usage: make install
       make uninstall

Make target	Description	Example
make install	Build the image and install the binary	$ make install docker-compose build Building jekyll Step 1/8 : FROM ruby:alpine3.7 ... Successfully built Successfully tagged astillero_jekyll:latest install -m 0755 bin/jekyll /usr/local/bin/jekyll $

Usage

$ jekyll --version
jekyll 3.8.1
$

Custom gems

If there's a Gemfile in the folder this binary is ran into, bundle install will be executed before anything else – effectively preparing the ephemeral container with a very specific set of gems.

$ cd ~/my_project
$ echo "gem 'pygments.rb', '~> 0.6.3'" >> Gemfile
$ jekyll serve -w
