Export the book artifact from the GitHub build workflow as a release for easy offline access

[tom-HCgY7HY6kq]

Instead of needing all offline users to build the container themselves, would it be possible to export the book directory artifact that is already being built in GH actions and sent to the S3 bucket as a release for the repo?

This would make it easier for users to access offline by just starting a simple Python HTTP server in the downloaded book directory rather than needing to build and run a container.

Also (following this useful guide: https://punksecurity.co.uk/blog/crestdrive_preparation_guide/) search is broken in offline access without this patch. This could be something added to the release to make search work offline:

Very happy to make a PR myself if you would accept the merge?

Hi @tom-HCgY7HY6kq !
The offline access should be fixed now.
Regarding the container we are not interested in hosting the image in our AWS infra. We could consider doing something like this storing it in dockerhub or github. Would you be able to do a PR for this?

Closing this due to lack of response
