Installing Jodot

There are many ways to install Jodot.

npm

npm is probably the simplest way:

$ npm install -g jodot

This gets you jodot on your command-line. Obviously, you'll need to have npm to install this way.

Docker

A Jodot Docker image is available via Docker Hub.

You can use this directly by creating a containerised environment. The following is an example of how you can do so.

1. Create your duties.hjson file defining the duties that you will want Jodot to run.

2. Create a Dockerfile in the same directory, this is similar to:

   FROM jodot/jodot
   
   ENV APP_DIR ~/src
   COPY . $APP_DIR
   
   WORKDIR ${APP_DIR}
   
   ENTRYPOINT ["jodot", "duties.hjson"]
   

3. Build and run the container in the background:

   $ docker build -t my_jodot .
   
   $ docker run -d my_jodot
