Configuration File Setup

Pull Image

docker pull ghcr.io/ncsa/vacation_calendar_sync:production

Build Container

docker run -it --name ncsa_vacation_calendar_sync --mount type=bind,source=$HOME,dst=/home ghcr.io/ncsa/vacation_calendar_sync:production

Once the container is created, entrypoint will execute the entrypoint.sh file, which effectively runs the program with python3 OutlookCalendar -s mode. To override this default command run:

docker run -it --name ncsa_vacation_calendar_sync --entrypoint /bin/bash --mount type=bind,source=$HOME,dst=/home ghcr.io/ncsa/vacation_calendar_sync:production

This will take you inside the container where you can run the commands listed below
