Decktape offers a Docker image in order to run their presentation converter. If you want to convert a presentation from an instance running on localhost
on a Mac, it is necessary to do some work around.
Decktape's Github Page suggests that we run the following command to save a presentation deployed locally:
>> docker run --rm --net=host -v `pwd`:/slides astefanutti/decktape http://localhost:8000 slides.pdf
However when running the docker from a Mac, Docker is actually running behind a virtual machine and has no access to the localhost. Thus the option --net=host
leads to a connection refused error.
