Dockerized MiKTeX
This image allows you to run MiKTeX on any computer that supports Docker.
Obtaining the image
Get the latest image from the registry:
docker pull miktex/miktex
or build it yourself:
docker build --tag miktex/miktex .
Using the image
Prerequisites
The host directory containing the input files must be mounted to the
container path /miktex/work.
The container image contains a bare MiKTeX setup and MiKTeX is
configured to install missing files in the container directory
/miktex/.miktex. It is recommended that you mount this directory to
a Docker volume.
Example
First, create a Docker volume named miktex:
docker volume create --name miktex
This volume should be used to mount the the container directory
/miktex/.miktex in subsequent runs.
Provided that your maininput file is located in the current working
directory, you can run pdflatex as follows:
docker run -ti \
-v miktex:/miktex/.miktex \
-v `pwd`:/miktex/work \
miktex/miktex \
pdflatex main.tex
