man
Simple scripts to create a Docker image for Ubuntu LTS versions which contain all the manual pages available (with default apt sources).
Usage
The image is currently built for all the supported LTS versions of Ubuntu (+precise). The images are uploaded to Docker Hub and tagged with the LTS codename. To check out a man page, use the following command:
docker run -it --rm -e TERM="$TERM" kbence/man:<lts_codename> [arg [arg ...]]
where lts_codename can be precise
, trusty
, xenial
, bionic
and arguments are passed to man directly.
To make it easier to use, there's a script called lman
in the repository. This script will pass your TERM
environment variable to optionally enable colorful output. It's usage is really simple:
./lman [--<lsb_codename>] [arg [arg ...]]
