Does the addition of an email address for CrossRef consolidation require to rebuild the Docker container?

[davidefiocco]

I am using GROBID on Docker https://grobid.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Grobid-docker/ and thought to use CrossRef consolidation, doing that in the "polite" way, thus specifying a value for the mailto value in grobid-home/config/grobid.properties (which is a very trivial change).

To do so, do I need to rebuild a custom Docker image, or do I have the option to pass the email address to be used in the CrossRef calls to the container pulled from the public image on Docker Hub e.g. with an option in

docker run -t --rm --init -p 8080:8070 -p 8081:8071 lfoppiano/grobid:${latest_grobid_version}

?

Hi @davidefiocco,
in theory you can use the environment variables as explained here: #482

to overwrite the property you want in the grobid.properties.

export ORG__GROBID__CROSSREF__MAILTO=youremail

should do the trick.

OK @lfoppiano thanks a million, I will try! By that reasoning, would

docker run -t --rm --init -p 8080:8070 -p 8081:8071 --env ORG__GROBID__CROSSREF__MAILTO='myemail' lfoppiano/grobid:${latest_grobid_version}

also do? That would be super handy also considering #628

Yes. As mentioned in the documentation https://grobid.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Grobid-docker/#configuration-using-environment-variables
