jgoldfar/latex-julia-docker repository overview

⁠Latex & Julia docker container

⁠

This container helps with compilation of latex sources without the need to install all latex packages on your system.

This repository is forked from blang's repository in order to add other packages needed for a CI setup.

⁠Setup

First, add your local user to docker group:

sudo usermod -aG docker YOURUSERNAME

build:

docker build -t jgoldfar/latex-julia-docker .

⁠Usage:

docker run --rm -i --user="$(id -u):$(id -g)" --net=none -v "$(pwd)":/data jgoldfar/latex-julia-docker

# Or better in one go (does not start container twice)
docker run --rm -i --user="$(id -u):$(id -g)" --net=none -v "$(pwd)":/data jgoldfar/latex-docker /bin/sh -c "pdflatex example.tex && pdflatex example.tex"

# View
./example.pdf

WORKDIRs match, mounted to /data inside container.

Why should I use this container?

• Easy setup
• texlive-full covers most of the available packages
• chktex and pgf packages are explicitly installed to ensure they are always available.

⁠Container Descriptions

• release includes Julia v0.6 and v0.7

• nightly includes Julia 0.7 and Julia 1.0 (useful for porting packages)

• dev includes a version of Julia built from source

• and-maxima layers Julia 0.7 over maxima-docker⁠, that is, Maxima built against SBCL.
