⁠Features

⁠IPAex font embedding (for Japanese users)

In all of the above Docker images, the setting to embed IPAex fonts using (u)pLaTeX + dvipdfmx/dvips has already been applied.

⁠llmk included

Besides TeX Live, as a new-generation build tool for LaTeX documents, llmk⁠ is deployed in /usr/local/bin (for TeX Live 2013 or later).

⁠How to use the built images on Docker Hub

The built images are available in a Docker Hub repository⁠. These archives are distinguished by their tags there. You can pull and use each of them like this.

$ docker pull doratex/tlarchive:2019frozen
$ alias tl2019="docker run --rm \
  --mount type=bind,src=\"\$(pwd)\",dst=/workdir \
  --mount type=volume,src=ltfontcache,dst=/usr/local/texlive/2019/texmf-var/luatex-cache/generic/fonts/otl \
  doratex/tlarchive:2019frozen"
$ tl2019 pdflatex foobar.tex

In this example, foobar.tex in the current directory is compiled by pdfLaTeX included in the Docker container of TeX Live 2019.

If you omit any arguments, llmk is launched and builds documents in accordance with the procedures prescribed in llmk.toml.

# build automatically with llmk
$ tl2019
