Docker Support

A way to run this in a docker container.

What kind of Docker support would you expect? What do you want to achieve with it?

I was also interested in running this in a container. The reason is I don't have python installed so I needed to download it in order to make it work.

I tried but wasn't successful with running contribute.py from a container due to issues with making my ssh keys available within the container. I probably could've updated my git config to not sign commits but didn't try to see if that worked.

Here's the Dockerfile I made if you want to try it without signed commits:

FROM python:3.13-slim

RUN apt-get -y update
RUN apt-get -y install git


ADD contribute.py .

CMD ["python", "contribute.py", "--repository=<YOUR_REPO>"]

Build the container with docker build -t github-activity-generator . and run the image with docker run -v ~/.gitconfig:/root/.gitconfig github-activity-generator

Without docker

I ended up using uv to install python and run the script.

If you're on mac, this worked for me:

1. run brew install uv
2. run uv python install 3.13
3. cd to the directory where you cloned / downloaded the script
4. run uv init in that directory
5. run the contribute.py script with uv run contribute.py --repository=<YOUR_REPO>

Thanks so much for making this @Shpota!!

I was able to get this working using Docker (without signed commits). Here’s the working solution:

Dockerfile
FROM python:3.13-slim

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y git

WORKDIR /app
COPY contribute.py /app/contribute.py

CMD ["python", "contribute.py", "--repository=https://github.com/your-username/test-activity.git"]

Build and run
docker build -t github-activity-generator .
docker run --rm github-activity-generator
