Building a document preview

You can build a document preview by running a Jekyll container.

You must have Podman installed.

1. Clone the repository:

$ git clone -b source https://github.com/kubev2v/forklift-documentation.git && cd forklift-documentation

2. Create .jekyll-cache and _site directories:

$ for i in .jekyll-cache _site; do mkdir ${i} && chmod 777 ${i}; done

3. Create a Gemfile.lock file:

$ for i in Gemfile.lock; do touch ${i} && chmod 777 ${i}; done

4. Run a Jekyll container:

• If your operating system is SELinux-enabled:

  $ podman run -it --rm --name jekyll -p 4000:4000 -v $(pwd):/srv/jekyll:Z jekyll/jekyll jekyll serve --watch --future

  Note: The Z at the end of the volume (-v) relabels the contents so that they can be written from within the container, like running chcon -Rt svirt_sandbox_file_t -l s0:c1,c2 yourself. You must run this command in the cloned directory.

• If your operating system is not SELinux-enabled:

  $ podman run -it --rm --name jekyll -p 4000:4000 -v $(pwd):/srv/jekyll jekyll/jekyll jekyll serve --watch --future

5. Navigate to http://<localhost>:4000 in a web browser to view the preview.
