🐳 Using command line with docker (~2 min)

0️ Prepare your machine

A machine with a recent version of docker is required.

1️ Run docker image

The command to use is similar to the following:

docker run --rm --env INPUT_TOKEN=**** --env INPUT_USER=user --volume=/tmp:/renders ghcr.io/lowlighter/metrics:latest

To pass parameters, pass environment variable with the same name as the corresponding action option but in uppercase and prefixed with INPUT_.

Generated files will be created in the mounted /renders directory.

💡 When running metrics with docker, output_action will automatically default to none instead. To use a different output action, both GITHUB_REPOSITORY (notice the absence of INPUT_ prefix) and INPUT_COMMITTER_TOKEN (with sufficient permissions) environment variables must be set.
