Description

A Jekyll build-and-serve image with the system libraries needed to compile native gem extensions.

Why this image exists

Several Jekyll images lack the libyaml development headers (yaml.h). When a site's Gemfile pulls in the psych YAML parser through the Rails stack (e.g. via the bootstrap gem → sassc-rails → railties → rdoc → psych), bundle install fails with a native-extension build error. This image adds libyaml-dev and build-essential so that install completes successfully.

What's added

libyaml-dev — headers required to build the psych gem
build-essential — C/C++ toolchain for compiling native extensions

The entrypoint and default command are unchanged from the base image, so behavior is identical aside from the build fix.

Usage

Serve locally (site mounted at /srv/jekyll):

docker run -p 4000:4000 -v "$PWD:/srv/jekyll" ardiesan/jekyll:latest
