TexLive-Docker

A Docker container running on Ubuntu with TexLive full system

How to use

Example 1: docker run ...

docker run -it --rm -v cd /path/to/dir/:/opt/app/ gregunz/texlive filename.tex

Note that /path/to/dir/ should be the absolute path to the directory where filename.tex and its dependencies are stored. The command run is the one defined in the Dockerfile as entrypoint (pdflatex). It can be overriden using the --entrypoint argument.

For example for the latex command:

docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/opt/app/ --entrypoint latex gregunz/texlive filename.tex

Example 2: pdflatex filename.tex

Set an alias:

pdflatex='docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/opt/app/ gregunz/texlive'

And use it that way:

cd /path/to/dir/

pdflatex filename.tex

You can setup an alias that way for each command you use regularly.
