Build

Docker (Preferred)

Requirements:

• Docker

You can generate either of books using BOOK_SLUG variable.

Available values for BOOK_SLUG:

• sre_book Site Reliability Engineering.
• srw_book The Site Reliability Workbook.

$ docker run --rm --volume "$(pwd):/output" -e BOOK_SLUG='srw_book' captn3m0/google-sre-ebook:latest

• You should see the final EPUB/MOBI/PDF files in the current directory after the above runs.
• The file may be owned by the root user.

NOTE: You'll have to allow docker access to a directory that's local to your system. The safest way to do this is as follows:

$ mkdir /tmp/sreoutput
$ chcon -Rt svirt_sandbox_file_t /tmp/sreoutput
$ docker run --rm --volume "/tmp/sreoutput:/output" -e BOOK_SLUG='srw_book' ghcr.io/captn3m0/google-sre-ebook:ruby

Builds on Docker Hub are no longer maintained.

macOS / Linux

Requirements:

• Make
• Ruby
• gem install bundler
• bundle install
• brew install pandoc
• brew cask install calibre
• brew install wget

Run either of the following:

# To download Site Reliability Engineering.
BOOK_SLUG='sre_book' ./generate.sh

# To download The Site Reliability Workbook.
BOOK_SLUG='srw_book' ./generate.sh

PDF options

Any option can be passed to pandoc by PDF_OPT_ prefix, for example:

PDF_OPT_GEOMETRY=margin=1.5cm \
PDF_OPT_DOCUMENTCLASS=extbook \
PDF_OPT_FONTSIZE=14pt \
PDF_OPT_MAINFONT=LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf \

PDF_OPT_SANSFONTOPTIONS=BoldFont=LiberationSans-Bold.ttf,ItalicFont=LiberationSans-Italic.ttf,BoldItalicFont=LiberationSans-BoldItalic.ttf \
BOOK_SLUG=sre_book ./generate.sh

Default options passed to pandoc in generate.sh are overloaded by PDF_OPT_ prefix, see PDF_OPT_GEOMETRY in above example.
