====================
|
|
|
|
This directory contains the Docker user manual in the Markdown format.
|
|
Do *not* edit the man pages in the man1 directory. Instead, amend the
|
|
Markdown (*.md) files.
|
|
|
|
# Generating man pages from the Markdown files
|
|
|
|
The recommended approach for generating the man pages is via a Docker
|
|
container using the supplied `Dockerfile` to create an image with the correct
|
|
environment. This uses `go-md2man`, a pure Go Markdown to man page generator.
|
|
|
|
## Building the md2man image
|
|
|
|
There is a `Dockerfile` provided in the `/man` directory of your
|
|
'docker/docker' fork.
|
|
|
|
Using this `Dockerfile`, create a Docker image tagged `docker/md2man`:
|
|
|
|
docker build -t docker/md2man .
|
|
|
|
## Utilizing the image
|
|
|
|
From within the `/man` directory run the following command:
|
|
|
|
docker run -v $(pwd):/man -w /man -i docker/md2man ./md2man-all.sh
|
|
|
|
The `md2man` Docker container will process the Markdown files and generate
|
|
the man pages inside the `/man/man1` directory of your fork using
|
|
Docker volumes. For more information on Docker volumes see the man page for
|
|
`docker run` and also look at the article [Sharing Directories via Volumes]
|
|
(https://docs.docker.com/use/working_with_volumes/).
