Deployment flow with docker?

[kpost]

In order to avoid having local ruby, I need to be able to build and deploy with pure docker. I have it working now but it took me ages to figure out. These are the steps I take:

Run docker run --rm --name slate -v $(pwd)/source:/srv/slate/source -v $(pwd)/build:/srv/slate/build slatedocs/slate build
Note the extra mounted build folder, took me a while to figure out that was needed. Although this could be my lacking Docker skills.

And then locally run ./deploy.sh --push-only with the push-only flag in order to prevent invoking ruby gems which are not installed.

It works, but I feel like there must be a way easier way. Did I miss something?

Thanks!

Dunno, never got a reply. But it works, so it's ok. It just seems too much of a pain to set up. Happy I could help. :)

Thanks for posting this. The first bit about build directory for docker is covered in our Docker Usage Guide#build-slate. I've amended Deploying State guide to include a note on using --push-only if using docker.
