Docker Jekyll

Docker image for using Jekyll for development and building.

Development Environment

In the root of your Jekyll project, create a Dockerfile using the :onbuild image:

FROM exegete46/jekyll:onbuild

This will copy your project into /usr/src/app/ in a container with Jekyll installed. To run the development environment:

$ docker build --tag=my-site .
$ docker run --rm -P -v `pwd`:/usr/src/app/ my-site

This will start the docker container with the development server, and should reload the code as you edit it.

All of the Jekyll commands are available inside the container:

$ docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/usr/src/app exegete46/jekyll jekyll new my-site

Similar to creating a new site.

$ docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/usr/src/app exegete46/jekyll jekyll build
