Recursive output.docker directories

[atomicbird]

Describe the bug

I'm running Emanote via the Docker image and finding that repeated runs lead to nested output.docker directories, even though I run the command in the same directory each time. Each level's content is a duplicate of the level above it.

To Reproduce

I'm getting it as follows:

1. cd to my Obsidian notebook directory

2. mkdir output.docker if it's not already there.

3. Run Emanote with

    docker run --platform linux/amd64 -e LANG=C.UTF-8 -e LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 -v $PWD:/data sridca/emanote emanote -L "/data" gen /data/output.docker
   

   I added the --platform because I'm running on Apple Silicon but otherwise this is the same as the suggested Docker invocation at https://emanote.srid.ca/start/install/docker.

The first time, the results go in output.docker. The second time they go in both output.docker/ and output.docker/output.docker/. Further runs lead to further duplicate nestings.

After a few updates it can get like this:

find output.docker -name index.html -exec ls -l {} \;
-rw-r--r--  1 tph  staff  18879 Jan  7 16:58 output.docker/index.html
-rw-r--r--  1 tph  staff  18879 Jan  7 16:58 output.docker/output.docker/index.html
-rw-r--r--  1 tph  staff  18879 Jan  7 16:58 output.docker/output.docker/output.docker/index.html
-rw-r--r--  1 tph  staff  18879 Jan  7 16:58 output.docker/output.docker/output.docker/output.docker/index.html
....

Above, each index.html is identical. A new nested level appears every time.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Docker Desktop 4.3.2 (72729) on macOS 12.1 (Monterey), Apple Silicon hardware.

It is a bit of a hack in Docker workflow of emanote-template. This is because the output of first runs are fed as input to the second run, because that output is put inside source directory

The solution is to put the output directory outside of source directory. For that you have to mount the parent directory of source directory. I didn't bother doing this in GitHub Pages workflow, because gen is run only once.

Thanks, that did the trick.
