Docker Documentation
====================
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, Docker will create a Fedora based
container and isolate the Pandoc installation. This is a seamless process,
saving you from dealing with Pandoc and dependencies on your own computer.
## Building the Fedora / Pandoc image
There is a Dockerfile provided in the `docker/docs/man` directory.
Using this Dockerfile, create a Docker image tagged `fedora/pandoc`:
docker build -t fedora/pandoc .
## Utilizing the Fedora / Pandoc image
Once the image is built, run a container using the image with *volumes*:
docker run -v /<path-to-git-dir>/docker/docs/man:/pandoc:rw \
-w /pandoc -i fedora/pandoc /pandoc/md2man-all.sh
The Pandoc Docker container will process the Markdown files and generate
the man pages inside the `docker/docs/man/man1` directory 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]
(http://docs.docker.com/use/working_with_volumes/).
