cups

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:

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

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
