A small and simple unofficial Docker image to make NerdPatching fonts easy.

Why not use the official image?

The current release of the official image (as of 2022-03-01) is broken for me.

• I couldn't get it working properly.
• The image isn't updated very frequently.
• And the way its Dockerfile and the entrypoint is setup, it doesn't allow reusing the container (if need be).

So instead, I created a custom image that works and does exactly what I want, how I want it.

Always open to PRs, Issues and suggestions :)

Usage

Docker Hub link

Run the container with no arguments. It will display the help message and exit.

docker run -v $(pwd)/in:/in -v $(pwd)/out:/out --name font-patcher icycomet/nerdfonts-patcher

If you pass in arguments, these will be directly passed on to the patching script.

docker run -v $(pwd)/in:/in -v $(pwd)/out:/out --name font-patcher icycomet/nerdfonts-patcher --complete --careful

You don't need to keep recreating the container if you don't need to change the bind paths. Instead, just start the container and drop to a shell prompt.

docker start font-patcher
docker exec -it font-patcher /bin/ash

Now, you have access to helper.sh that you can pass on arguments to.

./helper.sh --complete --careful

Once done, stop the container with:

docker stop -t 1 font-patcher

• The image expects to find the to-be-patched fonts under the /in directory inside the container. Use a bind mount to load the fonts from the host machine.
• The image, after processing, puts the patched files inside /out directory in the container. Use another bind mount on this path to get the patched fonts.
• The image assumes -h/--help argument if no arguments are supplied when creating/running the container.
• If you see no output on passing the arguments, please recheck the arguments passed.
