$ sudo apt-get install xvfb
$  echo 'xvfb-run --server-args="-screen 0, 1024x768x24" /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf $*' > \
/usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh

Dockerfile

Write the Dockerfile like following:

# Based on Ubuntu 14.04
FROM ubuntu:trusty

# Install Packages, via apt-get. 
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
	build-essential \
	pandoc \
	wkhtmltopdf \
	xvfb \
	ttf-wqy-zenhei \
	git \
	rubygems-integration \
	ruby-dev \
	libimage-exiftool-perl \
	python-twisted

# Now Change wkhtmltopdf
RUN echo 'xvfb-run --server-args="-screen 0, 1024x768x24" /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf $*' > /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh
RUN chmod a+x /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf
RUN chmod a+x /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh 
RUN ln -s /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf

# Now Run gems 
RUN gem install compass
RUN gem install susy

# Git Clone the CV FrameWork from github.
RUN mkdir -p /opt/Code/
RUN git clone https://github.com/barraq/pandoc-moderncv.git  /opt/Code/pandoc-moderncv

# Now begin to build the cv, using the demo 'scaffold'
RUN cd /opt/Code/pandoc-moderncv/ && make scaffold && make pdf HTMLTOPDF=wkhtmltopdf

# Run http server on server 5177, since in dist/ folder we will have the html and pdf
EXPOSE 5177
CMD ["twistd", "-n", "web", "-p", "5177", "--path", "/opt/Code/pandoc-moderncv/dist/"]

Put it on github, and trigger an auto-build on dockerhub, pulling it and you could get the well built docker image.

Use this Container

Use it via:

$ sudo docker build -t mycv/mycvapp /home/dash/Code/DockerBuild
$ sudo docker run -d -p 5000:5177 mycv/mycvapp

Since our Docker Container listens 5177 port, we use -p for mapping local machine’s 5000 port to 5177, visit localmachine:5000 then you could found the CV based directory.

Change to Debian Based

Maybe Debian based will be much more slim? But this involves the pandoc issue.

# Based on Debian Wheezy
FROM debian:wheezy

# Install Packages, via apt-get. 
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
        build-essential \
        cabal-install \
        wkhtmltopdf \
        xvfb \
        ttf-wqy-zenhei \
        git \
        rubygems-integration \
        ruby-dev \
        libimage-exiftool-perl \
	zlib1g-dev \
	libdigest-perl \
        python-twisted && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Via cabal for installing pandoc, latest one will have the markdown plugins
RUN cabal update && cabal install pandoc

# After install pandoc via cabal, update the $PATH
ENV PATH /root/.cabal/bin:$PATH

# Now Change wkhtmltopdf
RUN echo 'xvfb-run --server-args="-screen 0, 1024x768x24" /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf $*' >
/usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh
RUN chmod a+x /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf
RUN chmod a+x /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh 
RUN ln -s /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf

# Now Run gems 
RUN gem install compass
RUN gem install susy

# Git Clone the CV FrameWork from github.
RUN mkdir -p /opt/Code/
RUN git clone https://github.com/barraq/pandoc-moderncv.git  /opt/Code/pandoc-moderncv

# Now begin to build the cv, using the demo 'scaffold'
RUN cd /opt/Code/pandoc-moderncv/ && make scaffold && make pdf HTMLTOPDF=wkhtmltopdf

# Run http server on server 5177, since in dist/ folder we will have the html and pdf
EXPOSE 5177
CMD ["twistd", "-n", "web", "-p", "5177", "--path", "/opt/Code/pandoc-moderncv/dist/"]
