This repository holds the Dockerfiles that are used to build Docker images of TexLive, which are hosted on Docker Hub.
There is 1 image, called
listx/texlive:2020
which this repo publishes. To use this image, simply run the
start_container.sh script in the
texlive subfolder.
cd texlive
./start_container.sh
start_container.sh mounts the /home folder (which should house your $HOME
folder, which presumably has your TeX files needing compilation) into the
container, and keeps it running in the background. Now you can either invoke
enter_container.sh to enter a TexLive bash
environment inside the container, or you can optionally run
with_container.sh to invoke a build script for
your TeX files if you already have such a build script ready, with
cd texlive
./with_container.sh "path/to/your/tex/document/build/script.sh"
The above commands run everything as root inside the container. If you do not
want this, go to the texlive-user subfolder and run
./build_container.sh to generate an image
that uses listx/texlive:2020 as the base image but also injects a new user
inside the container named after your current non-root user that has the
same user ID and group ID as your own. Running that script will result in a new
image with the tag 2020-${USER} (named after your own username), and to use
it you can invoke it the same way as for the root user, by invoking the
start_container.sh script in the texlive-user subfolder.
The same guidance for enter_container.sh and with_container.sh apply here
as well.
