Docker Image for Pa11y

Learn more about Pa11y at http://pa11y.org/. This image includes:

Getting started

Create a directory ("pa11y" in example below) with your config.json Pa11y configuration file and tests (see Pa11y documentation).

You can use the Docker Hub image (civicactions/docker-pa11y) to run the Pa11y CLI:

docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd)/pa11y:/home/node/app civicactions/docker-pa11y pa11y

The mount into the /home/node/app directory (the default working directory in the container) will contain your test config.

A custom entrypoint will transparently run each command as a user with the UID/GID of the owner of the /home/node/app directory. This means that the external user with this UID/GID will have ownership of reports and screenshots created by Pa11y.

To run the Pa11y CI tool:

docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd)/pa11y:/home/node/app civicactions/docker-pa11y pa11y-ci

To lint your pa11y config, follow the directions on https://github.com/pa11y/pa11y-lint-config then run eslint:

docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd)/pa11y:/home/node/app civicactions/docker-pa11y eslint

Building the image

To build this image from scratch clone this repository then run:

docker build -t pa11y .

You can use this image in the examples above by replacing civicactions/docker-pa11y with pa11y.
