Docker Support

The project includes Docker support, allowing you to run the script in a containerized environment. Follow the steps below to build and run the Docker container:

  1. Build the Docker image:

    docker build -t win-patch-download .

  2. Run the Docker container:

    # docker-compose
docker-compose run win-patch-download -search 'Dynamic Update for Windows 11 for x64-based Systems' -month '2023-03' -downloadpath '/app/data'

# docker
docker run -v ./data:/app/data win-patch-download -search 'Dynamic Update for Windows 11 for x64-based Systems' -month '2023-06' -downloadpath "/app/data"

    This command will mount the local ./data directory to the container's /app/data directory and pass the required arguments to the script.
