⁠What are the LaTeX TeX Live Docker Images?

This repository provides Docker images for all historical versions (currently 2017-2019, older versions are coming soon) of TeX Live⁠ from this archive: ftp://tug.org/historic/systems/texlive/

For all images the same Dockerfile based on debian:testing is used. The different versions are built with different build args⁠. See the Makefile⁠ for examples. There is a TeX Live profile file for each version, e.g. 2018/texlive.profile⁠.

The motivation for providing historical TeX Live versions is that sometimes a new version breaks the LaTeX build (especially for poorly hacked LaTeX documents). With these images you could provide reliable builds by pinning to a specific version.

⁠How to use this image

Build your LaTeX document with latexmk like this (or with any other LaTeX tool provided by TeX Live):

$ docker run --rm --name texlive -v "$(pwd)":/workspace -w /workspace ludmann:latex-texlive latexmk -pdf

These images have no other user than root. If you need another user extend the image accordingly.

⁠Build Docker image locally

• Clone repository: git clone https://github.com/corneliusludmann/texlive-docker.git
• Run make to build all containers.
• Run e.g. make 2018 to build only TeX Live 2018.
