Skims container

To make the process of running skims as a standalone product as easy as possible for users, an image is deployed to docker hub after every deployment.

Local development

In order to use a local version of the skims image, you can use the following procedure:

  • Generate the container including your local changes
Terminal window
m . /skims/container
  • At the end of the output logs there should be a link, similar to this:
Terminal window
/nix/store/2gfw1rjc2kgj67f3mom9-container-image.tar.gz
  • Copy this link and load it to docker
Terminal window
docker load < /nix/store/2gfw1rjc2kgj67f3mom9-container-image.tar.gz
  • Mount this image and execute skims on it
Terminal window
sudo docker run -v /path/to/test/folder:/working-dir container-image:latest skims --help
