hexo in docker

A docker container for deploy hexo framwork.

Features included:

• Full isolated hexo environment, including node js, npm, hexo-cli
• Preinstalled hexo theme fluid
• Linked to github and github page with one step

Getting started with hexo in docker

Build an hexo_in_docker image from Dockerfile by

docker build -t hexo_in_docker .

An image called hexo_in_docker will be built.

From the image, creating a docker container by passing configurations to it:

docker run -it --name=blog \
  -e HEXO_SERVER_PORT=4000 \
  -e GIT_USERNAME="WeiYUN13" \
  -e GIT_EMAIL="yunwei_ecpkn@buaa.edu.cn" \
  -e GIT_SSH_KEY="`cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa_blog`" \
  -v ~/Desktop/yunwei/blog:/blog \
  -p 4000:4000 \
  hexo_in_docker

Updating blog by running:

docker exec -it blog hexo g

Any other related hexo command could now run in docker container in an isolated enrironment.

Deploy to github page

Config deployment to github by:

deploy:
  type: git
  repo: git@github.com:weiyun13/weiyun13.github.io.git
  branch: master

Then run docker exec -it blog hexo d -g

Another way to deploy automatically to github page is to use github CI and current docker hexo environment for generating static webside. A general workflow for implemting a hexo & docker framwork for automatically deploy hexo blog by github CI, see here.
