Running Jekyll in Docker (Podman)
Inspired by a repository from Peter Etelej. Adjusted to work with Podman which is what I use on Fedora Workstation as an alternative for Docker.
The version of Ruby and Bundler is important so that it works together with Github Pages and its dependencies.
Draft posts are enabled.
Create a Dockerfile with the following content:
FROM ruby:2.7.4
LABEL maintainer="Tjeu"
LABEL version="1.0"
RUN apt-get -qq update && \
apt-get -qq install nodejs -y && \
gem install -q bundler -v 2.4.22
RUN mkdir -p /etc/jekyll && \
printf 'source "https://rubygems.org"\ngem "github-pages", group: :jekyll_plugins' > /etc/jekyll/Gemfile && \
printf "\nBuilding requires Ruby gems. Please wait..." && \
bundle install --gemfile /etc/jekyll/Gemfile --quiet
RUN apt-get clean && \
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/*
ENV BUNDLE_GEMFILE /etc/jekyll/Gemfile
EXPOSE 4000
ENTRYPOINT ["bundle", "exec"]
CMD ["jekyll", "serve","--host=0.0.0.0", "--drafts"]
Build the container and give it a name.
podman build -f Dockerfile -t tjeu/jekyll .
Run it!
podman run --rm -it -p 4000:4000 -v "$PWD":/app:z -w /app localhost/tjeu/jekyll:latest
:z handles SELinux labels when using Podman. This solved for me an error related to permissions. When you accidentally run it without that suffix, the labels will be wrong. I had trouble getting it to work after that and had to delete the folder and run it again to finally get it to work.
