⁠LaTeX CV Docker Image

This Docker image simplifies the process of building LaTeX-based CVs and resumes by providing a pre-configured environment with all necessary packages and fonts. It ensures consistency across different systems without requiring a local LaTeX installation.

⁠Features

• Full TeXLive installation with XeTeX for advanced font handling.
• Pre-installed fonts:
  • Roboto for modern typography.
  • FontAwesome for icons.
• Optimized for modern CV templates.
• Compatible with Makefile workflows for automated CV generation.

⁠Quick Start

To build your CV using this Docker image, run:

docker run --rm --user $(id -u):$(id -g) -w "/doc" -v "$(PWD)":/doc aachraf/latex-cv-docker:latest make

This mounts your current directory ($(PWD)) to the /doc volume inside the container, where the LaTeX project files are located. The make command will compile your CV.

⁠Usage with Makefile

To integrate this Docker image into your workflow, add the following to your Makefile:

DOCKER_IMAGE=aachraf/latex-cv-docker
.PHONY: docker-cv clean
docker-cv:
   docker run --rm --user $(shell id -u):$(shell id -g) -w "/doc" -v "$(PWD)":/doc $(DOCKER_IMAGE):latest make cv.pdf
clean:
   rm -f *.pdf *.aux *.log *.out

⁠Running the Makefile

make docker-cv

This will generate cv.pdf inside your working directory.

The Docker image comes with the following LaTeX packages pre-installed:

• texlive-xetex
• texlive-fonts-recommended
• texlive-fonts-extra
• texlive-latex-extra
• fonts-roboto
• fonts-font-awesome

⁠Why Use This Image?

• No need to install LaTeX locally – everything is pre-configured.
• Ensures consistent builds across different machines.
• Supports modern LaTeX CV templates with XeTeX and custom fonts.
• Lightweight and easy to use with a simple docker run command.
