# Switching to Insiders
|
||
|
||
Material for MkDocs Insiders is a fully compatible drop-in replacement for
|
||
Material for MkDocs, and can be installed similar to the public version using
|
||
[`pip`][1], [`docker`][2] or [`git`][3]. When you sponsor @squidfunk, your
|
||
account is added to the list of collaborators of the private Insiders
|
||
repository.

|
||
[2]: #with-docker
|
||
[3]: #with-git
|
||
|
||
## Requirements
|
||
|
||
In order to access the Insiders repository programmatically (from the command
|
||
line or GitHub Actions workflows), you need to create a [personal access
|
||
token][4]:
|
||
|
||
1. Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens
|
||
2. Click on [Generate a new token][5]
|
||
3. Enter a name and select the [`repo`][6] scope
|
||
4. Generate the token and store it in a safe place
|
||
|
||

|
||

|
||
|
||
## Installation
|
||
|
||
### with pip
|
||
|
||
Material for MkDocs Insiders can be installed with `pip`:
|
||
|
||
``` sh
|
||
pip install git+https://${GH_TOKEN}@github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material-insiders.git
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The `GH_TOKEN` environment variable must be set to the value of the personal
|
||
access token you generated in the previous step. Note that the personal access
|
||
token must be kept secret at all times, as it allows the owner to access your
|
||
private repositories.
|
||
|
||
### with docker
|
||
|
||
In case you want to use Material for MkDocs Insiders from within Docker, some
|
||
additional steps are necessary. While we cannot provide a hosted Docker image
|
||
for Insiders[^1], [GitHub Container Registry][7] allows for simple and
|
||
comfortable self-hosting:
|
||
|
||
1. [Fork the Insiders repository][8]
|
||
2. Enable [GitHub Actions][9] on your fork[^2]
|
||
3. Create a new personal access token[^3]
|
||
1. Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens
|
||
2. Click on [Generate a new token][5]
|
||
3. Enter a name and select the [`write:packages`][10] scope
|
||
4. Generate the token and store it in a safe place
|
||
4. Add a [GitHub Actions secret][11] on your fork
|
||
1. Set the name to `GHCR_TOKEN`
|
||
2. Set the value to the personal access token created in the previous step
|
||
5. [Create a new release][12] to build and publish the Docker image
|
||
6. Install [Pull App][13] on your fork to stay in-sync with upstream
|
||
|
||
The [`publish`][14] workflow[^4] is automatically run when a new tag (release)
|
||
is created. When a new Insiders version is released on the upstream repository,
|
||
the [Pull App][13] will create a pull request with the changes and pull in the
|
||
new tag, which is picked up by the [`publish`][14] workflow that builds and
|
||
publishes the Docker image automatically to your private registry.
|
||
|
||
Now, you should be able to pull the Docker image from your private registry:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
docker login -u ${GH_USERNAME} -p ${GHCR_TOKEN} ghcr.io
|
||
docker pull ghcr.io/${GH_USERNAME}/mkdocs-material-insiders
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
[^1]:
|
||
Earlier, Insiders provided a dedicated Docker image which was available to
|
||
all sponsors. On March 21, 2021, the image was deprecated for the reasons
|
||
outlined and discussed in #2442. It was removed on June 1, 2021.
|
||
|
||
[^2]:
|
||
When forking a repository, GitHub will disables all workflows. While this
|
||
is a reasonable default setting, you need to enable GitHub Actions to be
|
||
able to automatically build and publish a Docker image on
|
||
[GitHub Container Registry][7].
|
||
|
||
[^3]:
|
||
While you could just add the `write:packages` scope to the personal access
|
||
token created to access the Insiders repository, it's safer to create a
|
||
dedicated token which you'll only use for publishing the Docker image.
|
||
|
||
[^4]:
|
||
The Insiders repository contains three GitHub Actions workflows:
|
||
|
||
- `build.yml` – Build and lint the project (disabled on forks)
|
||
- `documentation.yml` – Build and deploy the documentation (disabled on forks)
|
||
- `publish.yml` – Build and publish the Docker image
|
||
|
||
### with git
|
||
|
||
Of course, you can use Material for MkDocs Insiders directly from `git`:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
git clone git@github.com:squidfunk/mkdocs-material-insiders.git mkdocs-material
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The theme will reside in the folder `mkdocs-material/material`. When cloning
|
||
from `git`, the theme must be installed, so MkDocs can find the built-in
|
||
plugins:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
pip install -e mkdocs-material
|
||
```
