| DAPS in a Container | 2020-09-28 |
|
DAPS is OpenSUSE's "DocBook Authoring and Publishing Suite" that is used to build documentation for SUSE and OpenSUSE. It actually requires A LOT of dependencies when being installed and for that reason alone, it's actually better to run it in a container. This is my image and how I use it.
docker run -v ~/myproject/:/home/user jsevans/daps:latest daps -d DC-project epub
Command Breakdown:
docker run - Run the command in the container:
-v ~/myproject/:/home/user - Maps a local directory called ~/myproject to a directory in the container called /home/user. /home/user is the default directory that is used by the daps command, so it is best to map this directory rather than needing any extra command line components.
jsevans/daps:latest - This is the image that I've created. It is based on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed but it is stable enough for this use. However, it is a large image ~1.2GB due to the number of dependencies.
daps -d DC-project epub - This is the actual command line argument for creating an EPUB ebook using DAPS. I use Asciidoc as my markup language since I don't really want to learn docbook.
My Dockerfile:
