Docker Notes

If you have docker installed you can build an image and run this as a container.

§ docker build -t mysherlock-image .

Once the image is built sherlock can be invoked by running the following :

§ docker run –rm mysherlock-image user123

The optional --rm flag removes the container filesystem on completion to prevent cruft build-up. See https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#clean-up—rm

One caveat is the text file that is created will only exist in the container so you will not be able to get at that.

Or you can simply use “Docker Hub” to run sherlock :

§ docker run theyahya/sherlock user123

Adding New Sites

Please look at the Wiki entry on adding new sites to understand the issues.

Tests

If you are contributing to Sherlock, then Thank You!

Before creating a pull request with new development, please run the tests to ensure that all is well. It would also be a good idea to run the tests before starting development to distinguish problems between your environment and the Sherlock software.

The following is an example of the command line to run all the tests for Sherlock. This invocation hides the progress text that Sherlock normally outputs, and instead shows the verbose output of the tests.

§ python3 -m unittest tests.all –buffer –verbose
