# cups [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/volker-raschek/cupsd.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/volker-raschek/cupsd) Common Unix Printing System (CUPS), is the most widely used printing system on Linux systems. CUPS allows you to use, manage and share many printers on the network, as it is designed as a client/server system. This repository contains only build scripts for the CUPS daemon. ## Usage To start cups directly over cli: ```bash docker run \ --detach \ --env CUPS_ADMIN_USER=print \ --env CUPS_ADMIN_PASSWD=print \ --network=host \ --volume /var/run/dbus:/var/run/dbus \ --name cupsd \ volkerraschek/cupsd ``` or if you want to use a `docker-compose.yml` ```yaml version: '3' services: cupsd: container_name: cupsd environment: - CUPS_ADMIN_USER=print - CUPS_ADMIN_PASSWD=print network_mode: host restart: always volumes: - /var/run/dbus:/var/run/dbus ``` After starting the container, cups is available over http://localhost:631
