gitbook-docker

GitBook installed in a Docker container.

This image can be used to build books with the GitBook CLI.

NOTE: The image is created with the current version of GitBook installed at the time the image was created. You can add a different version, but beware that by default the GitBook CLI installs GitBook versions in $HOME (i.e. /root with the current configuration), which will disappear when the container is shutdown unless you map it to a local directory.

Usage

Use Case #1: Generating HTML

To run gitbook with the current directory mounted to /docs:

$ docker run -ti --rm -v `pwd`:/docs humangeo/gitbook <path to your book>

Use Case #2: Building a PDF

$ docker run -ti --rm -v `pwd`:/docs humangeo/gitbook pdf <path to your book>
