⁠Cloney Docker Image

The Cloney Docker image⁠ offers a convenient way to use Cloney⁠ within an isolated environment. With this approach, you can run Cloney without the need for a direct installation on your machine, making template cloning processes straightforward and reproducible.

⁠Quick Start with Docker Run

To clone a Cloney template repository to your local machine using the Cloney Docker image, follow this simple example:

docker run --rm -it -v ./:/home/cloney magicmanatee/cloney cloney clone https://github.com/ArthurSudbrackIbarra/cloney-example.git --variables .cloney-vars.yaml

https://github.com/ArthurSudbrackIbarra/cloney-example.git is the URL of the repository to clone and --variables .cloney-vars.yaml is the path to a variables file relative to your current working directory.

Note: The volume mount ./:/home/cloney ensures that every file in your current working directory becomes available to the Cloney Docker container. This way, you can point to a variables file in your current working directory, as shown in the example above.

⁠Simplify with Docker Compose

For an even smoother process, consider using Docker Compose. Create a Docker Compose file like this:

services:
  cloney:
    image: magicmanatee/cloney
    command: >
      cloney clone https://github.com/ArthurSudbrackIbarra/cloney-example.git
      --variables .cloney-vars.yaml
    volumes:
      - ./:/home/cloney

Now, run the following command:

docker compose run --rm cloney

This will achieve the same result as the previous example. Don't forget to also adapt the repository URL and the path to the variables file to your needs.
