Docker has a good usage of container technology, a new virtualization technology that consumes less resource than conventional VMs. In combination with Hyper-V, I believe it will be efficient and convenient enough to be my daily driver for all kinds of developments.

Run Ubuntu a container

docker run -v D:\Projects:/projects --name github-pages -p 127.0.0.1:4000:4000 -it ubuntu bash

Install ruby

sudo apt-get install ruby

Install Bundler

gem install bundler

Install libxml2

sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev

Install JavaScript runtime

https://github.com/rails/execjs

sudo apt-get install nodejs

Install Github-Pages

Go to Gemfile directory

bundle install

Run Jekyll

jekyll serve --host=0.0.0.0 --watch

For some reason, the above command could not detect directory modifications. So I found an alternative.

jekyll serve --host=0.0.0.0 --force_polling

The container should be up and running. Enjoy developing blogs!
