Packtpub Free Learning book of the day

Packtpub has an amazing initiative: every day it publishes a free technology ebook. The downside is that you have to remember to login and add it to your library. Not anymore (if you put this in crontab).

How to use this image

This image has 2 mandatory environment variables for PacktPub login:

• PP_EMAIL
• PP_PASSWORD

Additionally, if you want to receive a notification on pushbullet (how to get an access token is outside the scope of this document), you can set:

• PB_EMAIL
• PB_TOKEN

Basic Example (just get the ebook)

docker run --rm -e PP_EMAIL=my@email.com -e PP_PASSWORD=myP455 elisiano/packtpub-free-learning

Example with pushbullet

docker run --rm -e PP_EMAIL=my@email.com -e PP_PASSWORD=myP455 -e PB_EMAIL=my@email.com PB_TOKEN=myT0k3n elisiano/packtpub-free-learning

Disclaimer

I am not the original author of the script, I just parametrized it and dockerized it.
