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` 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/).
