jgoldfar/maxima-docker repository overview

⁠Maxima-on-alpine docker container

⁠

This container helps with compilation of latex sources without the need to install all latex packages on your system; maxima⁠ is a computer algebra system that plays (relatively) nicely with TeX.

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

⁠Setup

First, add your local user to docker group:

sudo usermod -aG docker YOURUSERNAME

build:

docker build -t jgoldfar/maxima-docker .

⁠Usage:

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

WORKDIRs match, mounted to /data inside container.

Why should I use this container?

• Easy setup

⁠Container Descriptions

• debian contains a Maxima installation on top of Debian Stretch

• alpine contains a Maxima installation on top of Alpine Linux v3.9

• alpine-latex adds a minimal LaTeX installation to alpine. The TeX installation scheme is minimal.
