When using the official jekyll/jekyll:3.8 docker image on Windows I am having problems serving the drafts. See my repo docker-compose.yml, _config.yml and _config.docker.yml files for specific flags and configuration.
I was following this guide and I am able to serve without --drafts fine.
I am seeing different urls in the html generated by any post under _drafts/ compared to the html generated from _posts/. The drafts generated html shows links to http://0.0.0.0:4000 while the posts html shows the correct http://localhost:4000.
OS details:
- Windows 10 Pro version 1909
I tested this on linux and the drafts are served fine and the html is as expected. Maybe it is permissions in the docker container. What does --skip-initial-build do?
That seems strange to me. If not a config issue then a bug.
For local use you will not see a difference between the 0.0.0.0 and localhost esp if you use localhost:4000
So maybe let it be. If you are deploying the container you would keep drafts disabled. And you’ll set hostname as a Jekyll flag or config value based on your serving domain.
If setting url for hostname in config, also set jekyll env to production.

Skip initial build is a flag on serve command to start jekyll server without building the site directory first.
Perhaps remove it if you’re using it.

The docker permissions won’t affect Jekyll URLs. Jekyll doesn’t know it’s in a container, it just uses localhost or a given hostname.
You could set hostname or url flag to actually be 0.0.0.0 or localhost and see what happens.
