Pandoc Dockerfile

Creates a Docker image with Pandoc, TeX packages to run the eisvogel template, Node.js, and mermaid-filter.

Pull image from Docker

To fetch the latest automated build image from Docker Hub

docker pull tewarid/pandoc

This pulls the latest tag built from main branch and may not always be stable, hence it is recommended you pull a stable tag

docker pull tewarid/pandoc:latest

Stable versions are tagged manually from latest and pushed to Docker Hub

docker tag tewarid/pandoc:latest tewarid/pandoc:1.0
docker push tewarid/pandoc:1.0

Build Docker image

To build a new image

docker build -t tewarid/pandoc:latest .

Run Pandoc

Assuming you have a bash script run-pandoc.sh on the host such as

#!/bin/sh
pandoc title.md doc.md -f markdown -o doc.pdf --toc -F mermaid-filter --template ./eisvogel.tex --variable titlepage=true --variable caption-justification=centering

Here's how you can invoke it in a Docker container

docker run -v `pwd`:/workdir -w /workdir -i -t --name pandoc-container --entrypoint "/workdir/run-pandoc.sh" tewarid/pandoc:1.0

On Windows, an equivalent PowerShell command may look like

docker run -i -t -v ${PWD}:/workdir -w /workdir --name pandoc-container --entrypoint "/bin/sh ./run-pandoc.sh" tewarid/pandoc:1.0

To run the same script again

docker start -a -i pandoc-container

Remove the container when no longer needed

docker rm pandoc-container

Known Issues

You will get an error message such as the following with mermaid-filter

events.js:292
    throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
    ^

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/tmp/tmp-11UOaQJNu37LGm.tmp.png'
Emitted 'error' event on ReadStream instance at:
    at internal/fs/streams.js:136:12
    at FSReqCallback.oncomplete (fs.js:156:23) {
errno: -2,
code: 'ENOENT',
syscall: 'open',
path: '/tmp/tmp-11UOaQJNu37LGm.tmp.png'
}
Error running filter mermaid-filter:
Filter returned error status 1

To fix it, create a file called .puppeteer.json in the directory you run pandoc, that contains

{
    "executablePath": "/usr/bin/chromium-browser",
    "args": ["--no-sandbox"]
}
