Previewing Book

Custom Docker Image

This project uses a custom Docker image (based on the Insiders image) since the official Docker image includes just a few plugins only.

Build the custom Docker image using the following command:

docker build \
  -t jaceklaskowski/mkdocs-material-insiders \
  -t jaceklaskowski/mkdocs-material-insiders:6.2.3-insiders-1.15.0 \
  .

Building Book

Run the following command to build the book.

docker run \
  -it \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  -v ${PWD}:/docs \
  jaceklaskowski/mkdocs-material-insiders \
  build --clean

TIP: Consult the Material for MkDocs documentation to get started.

Live Editing

Start mkdocs serve (with --dirtyreload for faster reloads) as follows:

docker run \
  -it \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  -v ${PWD}:/docs \
  jaceklaskowski/mkdocs-material-insiders \
  serve --dirtyreload --verbose --dev-addr 0.0.0.0:8000

You should start the above command in the project root (the folder with mkdocs.yml).

No Sphinx?! Why?
