# i-d-toolchain
This repository provides a docker image with all the tools installed that
[kramdown-rfc2629](https://github.com/cabo/kramdown-rfc2629) might need.
Many other relevant tools are also installed in the image,
[see below](#installed-components). This makes it possible to generate the
XML and other desired formats for Internet-Drafts without installing any
local tools, except of course docker.
**NEW!** You can now convert your I-D sources via a web user interface
running inside the container, in a drag-and-drop fashion. No need to
execte shell commands! [Details below.](#via-a-web-ui)
This is free and unencumbered software released into the public domain.
## Usage
There are two ways for executing commands in this Docker image, via the
`i-d-toolchain` bash script, and directly from your shell. The former is
recommended.
### Via the `i-d-toolchain` bash script
First, download and install the `i-d-toolchain` bash script into a convenient
location, such as `$HOME/bin`:
```shell
curl --output $HOME/bin/i-d-toolchain \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/larseggert/i-d-toolchain/main/i-d-toolchain
chmod a+x $HOME/bin/i-d-toolchain
```
You can then run commands in the i-d-toolchain Docker container on files inside
the current directory like this:
```shell
i-d-toolchain kdrfc -h -3 draft-i-d-toolchain-test-00.md
```
In the example above, `kdrfc` would execute inside the Docker container on the
`draft-i-d-toolchain-test-00.md` in the local directory, producing text and HTML
versions of the `draft-i-d-toolchain-test-00.md` Markdown document. `kdrfc` can
be replaced by any other command installed in side the image, as desired.
You can run `i-d-toolchain -u` to update both the `i-d-toolchain` script and the
underlying Docker image. Please do so occasionally, to keep using the latest
toolchain.
### Directly from your shell
The `i-d-toolchain` bash script is basically a simple wrapper that passes the
given command into a rather convoluted `docker run` incantation. You can also
execute this directly from the shell, but it is cumbersome.
In order to replicate the `i-d-toolchain kdrfc -h -3
draft-i-d-toolchain-test-00.md` example from above, you would need to execute
this `docker run` command:
``` shell
docker run \
--pull always \
--volume $(pwd):/id:delegated \
--env XML2RFC_REFCACHEDIR=/id/.cache/xml2rfc \
--env KRAMDOWN_REFCACHEDIR=/id/.cache/xml2rfc \
--interactive \
--tty \
--cap-add=SYS_ADMIN \
ghcr.io/larseggert/i-d-toolchain:latest \
kdrfc -h -3 draft-i-d-toolchain-test-00.md
```
Make sure the test markdown document exist in your local directory.
Here is a breakdown of what the components of this rather long command are:
* `docker run` executes a given command in a given docker container
* `--volume $(pwd):/id:delegated` mounts the current directory into the docker
container at the `/id` mount point. The name of the `/id` mount point **must
not** be changed, since it is tied to where various caches are being kept. The
`:delegated` can be omitted, but provides a minor speed-up.
* `--pull always` makes sure that the latest published version of the docker
image provided in this repository is used. This can be omitted, e.g., when
running without Internet connectivity, but then `docker pull` should be
occasionally run to update the image.
* `--env` passes various environment variables to the tools of the Docker
container, that makes them create and use caches in the local directory.
* `--interactive` keeps `stdin` attached for the session
* `--tty` allocates a pseudo-TTY for the session
* `--cap-add=SYS_ADMIN` is needed when the draft markdown contains artwork that
relies on `mermaid` for processing. It can be omitted in other cases, but
there is no harm in always passing it.
* `ghcr.io/larseggert/i-d-toolchain:latest` is the name of the docker image to
be run.
* Finally, you can specify a command to run inside the container for some
file(s) in the current working directory. In this example, we execute
``` shell
kdrfc -h -3 draft-i-d-toolchain-test-00.md
```
which runs `kdrfc` from
[kramdown-rfc2629](https://github.com/cabo/kramdown-rfc2629) in order to
convert the markdown document `draft-i-d-toolchain-test-00.md` in the current
working directory to text and HTML. This can be replaced by any other command
installed in side the image, as desired.
Also see the `docker run --help` information, and check the end of the
`i-d-toolchain` bash script for any changes to this incantation that might not
have been reflected in this README.
## Via a web UI
To use a web frontend to convert I-D sources to HTML, text or PDF versions, do
``` shell
docker run \
--pull always \
--publish 8000:8000 \
--cap-add=SYS_ADMIN \
ghcr.io/larseggert/i-d-toolchain:latest
```
and then open http://localhost:8000/ in your browser.

## Common errors
* In case you see the "no basic auth credentials" error
```
docker: Error response from daemon: Head https://ghcr.io/v2/larseggert/i-d-toolchain /manifests/latest: no basic auth credentials
```
you need to `docker login`, using your GitHub user name and a personal
access token as the password. The token needs to have at least the
`read:packages` scope, and [can be generated
here](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new).
``` shell
docker login -u $GITHUB_USERNAME -p $GITHUB_TOKEN ghcr.io
```
* If you are able to run docker, but see something similar to
```
`read': No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - draft-i-d-toolchain-test-00.md (Errno::ENOENT)
from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/kramdown-rfc2629-1.3.37/bin/kramdown-rfc2629:320:in `'
