Using Docker

To use nrkdl in a self-contained docker container, the provieded Dockerfile should get you going for a minimalistic install. If you want to combine this into a standalone command, something like this will be what you want.

#!/bin/sh

# export DATA="/mnt/multimedia/tmp" # Set if you don't want downloads to go to your ${HOME}/downloads
cd ${HOME}/Projects/programming/nrkdl  # Path where we can find a checkout of this repository
docker run -it -v ${DATA:-${HOME}/downloads}:/nrkdl/downloads $(docker build -q .) $*

# Open data-path if we are on osx
# [[ $? == 0 ]] && ( open ${DATA} )

You can now run it using example nrkdl -s "brannma".
