What is this?

Generate PDF from an EPUB repository as a Commit Hook! Whenever your book in GitHub changes, the PDF will automatically regenerate.

OK, so what now?

Check out the demo website to see this code in action. You can see recently built PDFs and trigger new ones to be generated.

Make my Book!

You will need to have a repository that is an unzipped EPUB. Some examples are:

1. http://github.com/philschatz/minimal-book
2. Repositories in the oerpub organization that end in "-book"

Add a GitHub Service Hook to generate PDFs on Commit:

1. Go to https://github.com/REPO_USER/REPO_NAME/settings/hooks (be sure to replace REPO_USER and REPO_NAME with appropriate names for your book repository)
2. Click "WebHook URLs"
3. Enter http://pdf.oerpub.org as the URL
4. Click "Update Settings"
5. Click "Test Hook"

Ooh, let me see!

To download the dependencies:

npm install .

Install your favorite HTML to PDF tool. Some examples:

• wkhtmltopdf
• princexml

Install http://www.mongodb.org/downloads

And, to start it up:

mongod &
node bin/server.js &
node bin/slave.js --pdfgen ${PATH_TO_PDFGEN_BINARY}

Then, point your browser to the website at http://localhost:3001

Submit a job by going to http://localhost:3001/philschatz/minimal-book/ and clicking the "Rebuild" button.
