Docker Mount Binding Does Not Contain Themes / Assets

[excalith]

Docker bind mounts does not have assets and themes alongside with settings.json file.

It is intended this way, following best practices to keep things tidy and respect your space. The goal is to minimize any interference with your own mounted directory, putting only place the essential configuration file needed for the app to run.

However, you can download assets and themes from data folder manually and put them into their respective folders.

I also pushed some scripts into tools directory to do this automatically.

Caution

This is for lazy users such as me, who creates scripts to do their tedious stuff. Use at your own risk. If you modify unrelated lines or do some custom stuff, you might cause problems. I suggest you to read the powershell source and bash source scripts beforehand.

How to use:

bash

1. Set your directory to the root of your mounted dir
2. If you want to download the default assets (icon and wallpaper) set --assets to true
3. If you want to download themes, set --themes followed by theme names. For example: --themes bushido catppuccin-mocha onedark
4. Depending on what your system already has, run one of the code below

curl:

bash <(curl -s https://github.com/excalith/excalith-start-page/main/tools/download_assets.sh) --assets true --themes bushido catppuccin-mocha onedark 

wget:

bash <(wget -qO- https://github.com/excalith/excalith-start-page/main/tools/download_assets.sh) --assets true --themes bushido catppuccin-mocha onedark

powershell

1. Set your directory to the root of your mounted dir
2. If you want to change downloading default assets (icon and wallpaper) set assets to $true or $false
3. If you want to download themes, set -themes followed by theme names. For example: themes = "bushido", "catppuccin-mocha", "onedark"
4. Run the following command on your powershell.

Tip

If you are getting errors regarding execution policies, either download the script and run locally or download required items manually.

# Modify the params as you wish
$params = @{
    # Set assets to false if you do not want to download the assets
    assets = $true

    # Add themes to the list if you want to download them
    themes = "bushido", "catppuccin-mocha", "onedark"
}
