⁠CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) Docker Image

Note: This project is currently under development.

⁠Overview

The CUPS Docker image offers a convenient solution for running CUPS, a printing system designed for Unix-like operating systems, within a containerized environment. CUPS facilitates the management of printers and print jobs, both locally and across networks.

⁠Key Features

• Containerized Printing System: CUPS operates within a Docker container, ensuring isolation from the host system.
• Printer Management: Easily manage local and network printers using the web interface provided by CUPS.

⁠Usage

To run the CUPS Docker container, use the following command:

sudo docker run --rm -d --name cups -p <port>:631 \
    -e CUPS_ADMIN=<username> -e CUPS_PASSWORD=<password> \
    rudraiitm/cups:latest

Replace <username> and <password> with your desired CUPS admin username and password. Replace <port> with port on which you want to expose CUPS web interface.

To ssh into docker container:

  docker exec -it cups /bin/bash
