Description

It takes hours to get ruby, rubygems, jekyll, etc. all working again when you haven't used it in a while.

Many people use this infrastructure only for maintaining the daffodil-site content, which only changes occasionally.

Various platform upgrades and security updates on a developer workstations break this stuff.

A podman/docker container with a known good configuration of these ruby and jekyll tools would massively smooth the release process.
