#### Content limits
2023-03-06 04:50:56 +01:00
DockerHub has content limits.
2023-04-07 02:21:58 +02:00
The readme content is limited to 25,000 bytes, and `short-description` is limited to 100 bytes.
2023-03-06 04:50:56 +01:00
This action truncates content to prevent the request being rejected.
If the content has been truncated a warning will be issued in the run log.
2022-08-18 05:17:06 +02:00
2020-09-25 07:42:31 +02:00
#### Specifying the file path
2019-06-25 12:33:09 +02:00
The action assumes that there is a file called `README.md` located at the root of the repository.
2020-09-25 04:38:47 +02:00
If this is not the case the path can be specified with the `readme-filepath` input.
2019-06-25 12:33:09 +02:00

#### Using the GitHub repository description
The GitHub repository description can be used for the Docker Hub `short-descripton` by passing the description from the event context.
```yml

uses: peter-evans/dockerhub-description@v4
2021-03-31 10:25:28 +02:00

### URL completion known Issues
2023-03-05 03:13:27 +01:00
2023-03-05 03:19:28 +01:00
The completion of relative URLs has some known issues:
2023-03-05 03:13:27 +01:00
1. Relative markdown links in inline-code and code blocks **are also converted** :
```markdown
[link in inline code ](#table-of-content )
```
will be converted into
```markdown
[link in inline code ](https://github.com/peter-evans/dockerhub-description/blob/main/./README.md#table-of-content )
```
2. Links containing square brackets (`]`) in the text fragment **are not converted** :
```markdown
[[link text with square brackets]](#table-of-content)
```
3. [Reference-style links/images ](https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#reference-style-links ) **are not converted** .
```markdown
[table-of-content][toc]
...
[toc]: #table -of-content "Table of content"
```
2023-03-05 03:19:28 +01:00
## Using the Docker image independently of GitHub Actions
The image can be executed in other environments independently of GitHub Actions.
Simply volume mount the location of the `README.md` file to the container and set environment variables as follows.
```bash
docker run -v $PWD:/workspace \
-e DOCKERHUB_USERNAME='user1' \
-e DOCKERHUB_PASSWORD='xxxxx' \
-e DOCKERHUB_REPOSITORY='user1/my-docker-image' \
-e README_FILEPATH='/workspace/README.md' \
peterevans/dockerhub-description:3
