Created attachment 808711 [details]
initial docker usage guide.

Description of problem:
I built a docker container (based on a fedora container) that allows me to run publican without needing to install java on my main host.

see https://index.docker.io/u/svendowideit/publican/

I've attached a simplistic use instruction.

I hope that RH/Fedora will eventually maintain their own fedora container, and then their own publican container - you're welcome to use what I've made, either as is, or rebuilt - I'm mostly just learning about the parts as I head towards my own needs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.2

Additional info:

the Dockerfile used to create the container is:


# run publican on the current directory
# this container is fedora based, as publican is best supported there
# from docker pull mattdm/fedora
# Build the container:
#   docker build -t svendowideit/publican .
# Run Publican (in this example, mount the current directory, and build the docbook that is in it):
#   docker run -t -i -v $(pwd):/mnt svendowideit/publican build --src_dir=/mnt --langs=en-US --formats=pd
f

FROM mattdm/fedora
