Blogpost 'Docker Container for Github’s Jekyll'

Introduction

Build and run your Jekyll github-pages in a Docker container.

Checkout the project and build the Docker image:

docker build -t "wechris-jekyll" .

Checkout the Repo of your github-page to a subfolder and copy the Gemfile into the folder. Run the Docker Jekyll image:

docker run -v $(pwd)/<path github-page-repo>:/home/mypage -w /home/mypage -p 4000:4000 wechris-jekyll bundle exec jekyll serve --host 0.0.0.0

If you want to run the Jekyll container with an interactive shell

docker run -it -v $(pwd)/<path github-page-repo>:/home/mypage -w /home/mypage -p 4000:4000 wechris-jekyll /bin/sh

Whenever you commit to the repository, GitHub Pages will run Jekyll to rebuild the pages in your site, from the content in your Markdown files.
