A minimal jekyll kickstart project using docker (or docker-compose)

This project was made with the idea of sharing a similar dev environment between different OS (OSX, Win, Linux) and without the need of installing ruby & Cie on our local machines. So we looked at jekyll/docker project. And started to try using it. We created a basic jekyll project skeleton.

Feel free to use it if it fits your needs to. Cheers!

Using Docker Compose

Take a look at the docker-compose.yml file. Then start the container with:

docker-compose up

Using Docker

Instructions from the official Github jekyll/docker repository.

Native docker

docker run --rm --label=jekyll --volume=$(pwd):/srv/jekyll \
  -it -p 127.0.0.1:4000:4000 jekyll/jekyll jekyll serve

Docker-machine / Docker-Toolbox

docker run --rm --label=jekyll --volume=$(pwd):/srv/jekyll \
  -it -p $(docker-machine ip `docker-machine active`):4000:4000 \
    jekyll/jekyll jekyll serve

If you are on Windows or OS X using Docker-Machine or Boot2Docker you will need to add the option --force_polling
