Can I use babashka.process to start an interactive cli tool ? My use case is to do something with babashka and the last thing it does should be to start and attach to a docker, like this "docker run xxx -ti /bin/bash"

borkdude16:01:28

yes, use shell

Carsten Behring16:01:55

Yes, could have tried it myself first, before asking. But I thought it would need some special parameters to be interactive.

borkdude16:01:01

nope, shell is interactive by default :-D

Do you guys want to see a project that I made using babashka?

Arun21:01:32

So basically it’s a script that automates the generation of properly formatted PDFs in the languages of South Asia. It leverages Pandoc and LuaLatex underneath it all

Arun21:01:20

It specifically is aimed at streaming the publication of materials in marginalized languages in the subcontinent

Arun21:01:05

There are still bugs that need to be fixed and some of the trickery I used to get this working is kind of janky, but overall it is working

borkdude21:01:37

Thanks for sharing :)

borkdude21:01:30

I want to make a pandoc pod somewhere within the next couple of months which should make working with pandoc from bb also easier

Arun21:01:15

What exactly were you thinking of including in that pod?

Arun21:01:26

I’d be interested

borkdude22:01:46

do you already know what a babashka pod is?

borkdude22:01:18

there are some examples here: https://github.com/babashka/pod-registry at least one of them is built in haskell. I want do make a similar thing but for pandoc, so that you can call it from babashka

Arun22:01:16

i had some vague familiarity on what it was but i think this cleared it up

Arun22:01:32

I think that would help quite a bit

Arun22:01:01

If you need any help with that then I’m more than happy to help
