Headless / CI Usage

The fotobuch binary has no GUI dependencies and runs in any headless environment — CI servers, Docker containers, SSH sessions.

Minimal build script

#!/bin/bash
set -e

fotobuch project new MyBook --width 297 --height 210 --quiet
cd MyBook
fotobuch add /mnt/photos/2024-Summer
fotobuch build
fotobuch build release
# MyBook_final.pdf is ready

Docker example

FROM debian:bookworm-slim
COPY fotobuch /usr/local/bin/fotobuch
WORKDIR /vault
ENTRYPOINT ["fotobuch"]

Mount the vault as a volume:

docker run --rm -v /data/vault:/vault fotobuch build release
