docker-latex

A Dockerfile for your LaTeX projects based on Ubuntu rolling releases

This image helps compiling latex sources without the need to install all latex packages on your system.

Why should I use this container?

Make use of the pre build docker image

docker pull opendatacoder/latex

Add your local user to docker group if this is not yet the case

sudo usermod -aG docker $(whoami)

Quick Setup

Compile latex sources using docker, run this command

docker run --rm -i -v $PWD:/home/latex/data opendatacoder/latex:latest pdflatex main.tex

Daemon setup

If you're working on source in latex, you might want to compile it multiple times and don't want to start a container each time.

docker run -d --rm -i -t -v $PWD:/home/latex/data opendatacoder/latex:latest /bin/bash -c "sleep forever"
