jekyll-docker

Develop your Jekyll project in Docker

jekyll-docker

Archiving this because I no longer think this approach is valid. Just using rbenv and installing dependencies there seems like a much saner option.


Develop your Jekyll project in a Docker container, without installing all the dependencies on the host. Or don't.

Feature Command
Install [ruby-install] make ruby-install && make ruby-install/clean
Install Ruby make ruby
Install [chruby] make chruby && make chruby/clean
Install [Bundler] make bundler
Install dependencies make dependencies
Run [Jekyll] make jekyll/serve
Run Jekyll in Docker make docker/up
Parameter Default Description
PROJECT_DIR .. Jekyll project directory
RUBY_INSTALL_VERSION 0.8.5 ruby-install version
RUBY_VERSION 3.1.2 Ruby version
CHRUBY_VERSION 0.3.9 chruby version
PREFIX ~/.local/ Installation directory for ruby-install and chruby

Set parameter values by passing them to make, i.e.

make ruby RUBY_VERSION=2.7.0

Examples

Jekyll in Docker

make docker/up PROJECT_DIR=../jekyll-project/

This builds two images: jekyll_base and jekyll_project, and runs a container, which mounts PROJECT_DIR, and runs Jekyll there.

To rebuild the images (i.e. when you bump dependencies), run

make docker/build PROJECT_DIR=../jekyll-project/

Bring everything down:

make docker/down

Jekyll on the host

make ruby-install
make ruby-install/clean
make ruby
make chruby
make chruby/clean
make bundler
make dependencies PROJECT_DIR=../jekyll-project/
make jekyll/serve PROJECT_DIR=../jekyll-project/

Some of these might not work on the first try (you'd need to install some native dependencies for your gems, use sudo, etc.).
