Jekyll Dockerfile Setup Notes

For github pages, required to create blog in current directory (jekyll new .)

1. Setup initial Dockerfile

#
# Dockerfile gotchas
# have to bind host (default set to localhost)
# also explicit spacing for CMD
#

FROM ruby:3.0
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
EXPOSE 4000
CMD [ "bundle", "exec", "jekyll", "serve", "-H", "0.0.0.0"]

Do an initial build: docker build -t vergeman/jekyll . to bootstrap from.

2. Boostrap initial Gemfile

docker run -it -v /home/vergeman/dev/app:/usr/src/app vergeman/jekyll bash
bundle init

#...continue below

3. Install gems

bundle add jekyll
bundle install
jekyll new .

4. Add theme:

Gemfile:

gem "no-style-please"

_config.yml: important

remote_theme: riggraz/no-style-please

Make sure to rebuild Docker container to reinstall gem.

Deploy Theme Notes

Github pages requires serving from root directory; so install jekyll new must be done in root dir.

The current theme no-style-please hasn't been updated in years and is doesn't install correctly with latest jekyll. Just shove the theme contents into the directory and it works.

• baseurl: ""; needs to be current dir for gh pages.
• move any theme .scss in _sass dir to /css/main.css - breaks on github compile.

Jekyll Ops

• can comment # initial config
• post slugs are CATEGORIES/YEAR/MONTH/DAY/title.html
• can have a raw file.html
