Markdown CV Generator

Inspired by the CV generator from @Madic-, this is my own version of a pandoc-based CV (or in german "Lebenslauf") generator.

The data ist input as a kind-of formatted Markdown file and results into a PDF with the help of dockerized pandoc, WeasyPrint and scss styles. For a preview, look at the sample.md and the rendered cv.pdf

System requirements

The only requirement is a functional docker / docker-compose or alternative environment (the examples are made with podman).

Usage

  • Create yourself a folder by copying the sample folder to a new one (for example my-cv). Or create a new folder by yourself (the media folder is mandatory!).
  • Adjust the commented lines in the docker-compose.yaml.
  • Execute podman-compose up --force-recreate -V in the project folder to (re-)generate the PDF from your Markdown file.
    • This will compile the styles on the first run and creates the pdf afterward.

Dev Usage

For an easy dev environment execute podman-compose up --build --force-recreate -V when you made changes to the Dockerfile or docker-compose. Also enable the debug copy inside the Dockerfile to get the Live HTML preview.

Make sure the pdf is not opened with a pdf reader.
