Dockerized Jekyll

Presentation

A dynamicaly configurable Jekyll container.
I Needed a static site generator which I could put in container I found Jekyll.
Alas, existing containers available on the net where either too old or too complex for my understanding.
Counting on my modest shell scripting skills, I managed to give life to an abomination working mainly by the mighty will of GNU sed.

How to use it ?

• Edit ./data/.env to fit your needs.
• Create ./data/<blog_name>_description.txt, with the wanted website description.
  Be carefull to remove whitespaces at line start. It will not properly indented when put in the _config.yml, fudging up the description format.
• Build the image via the provided docker-compose.yml file.
• Run the service.

Variables in .env and the site description are updated at container restart.
Keep in mind that changing your site name (with BLOG_NAME var) will fudge up all reference files (site description, site path etc.).
