i've hacked a working solution together, #32 . you can use it as an inspiration for a real fix :)

Same issue, login into the container and pandoc version is:

pandoc --version

pandoc 1.19.2.4
Compiled with pandoc-types 1.17.0.5, texmath 0.9.4.4, skylighting 0.3.3.1
Default user data directory: /root/.pandoc

+1 in docker image

It happens on Ubuntu bionic because the pandoc's repo version is 1.19. pdf-engine was introduced on pandoc 1.20. Possible workarounds:

• If the pdf file is not needed then comment the pandoc command to generate pdf from html on file generate.sh and rebuild the container: docker build -t <new_image_tag> .

or alternatively:

• Set a different repo on Ubuntu for pandoc so the pandoc version has that option (not tried)

I'd put the generated PDF version on releases: https://github.com/captn3m0/google-sre-ebook/releases for issues like these.

The pandoc PDF is so much more better in typesetting that I really want to keep this, will see if I can get the Docker image functional again (and add tests)

Thanks a lot everyone, managed to fix this by switching to debian packages and installing a few extra deps. 💯

It's still not perfect (cover images are missing, tables aren't formatted well etc - but its wayy better than the previous versions)
