tillhoff/latex repository overview

⁠containered latex compiler

A latex compiler in a docker container, so the actual host stays clear of all the (temporary) necessary packages. As docker is cross-platform, so it this latex compiler.

⁠usage

There are two variables that can be adjusted:

• textype: Can either be pdf (->pdflatex, default) or xelatex
• filename: Must match the main .tex-filename. Default is main.tex

So to compile a main.tex with pdflatex it is sufficient to run docker run --rm -it -v ${PWD}:/tex tillhoff/latex.

For additional arguments like f.e.

• using xelatex run docker run --rm -it -v ${PWD}:/tex -e textype=xelatex tillhoff/latex.
• using another filename run docker run --rm -it -v ${PWD}:/tex -e filename=main.tex tillhoff/latex.
