latex container for docker builds
See https://gitlab.com/docker-hub/texlive/blob/master/README.md for the decription of the mother container.
For most latex projects all you need to do is running from the directory that contains the main tex file
docker run --rm -it --user="$(id -u):$(id -g)" -v "$(pwd)":/home aggipp/texlive latexmkclone this repo and build the docker file loclly.
git clone https://github.com/ag-gipp/docker-texlive
cd docker-texlive
docker build -t aggipp/texlive .Now you use the locally build image on your system and not the image downloaded from dockerhub.
If you see error messages like
(/usr/local/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/xfor/xfor.sty)
! LaTeX Error: File `datatool-base.sty' not found.
Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
Search on ctan for the filename, here, and add the package name, here, datatool to the list in the Dockerfile. If you have to that multiple times use a second run command to speed up building. If you are done make a pull request. Be sure to use the correct package nme listed in 'contained in TEXLIVE' which can be different from the mitex and canonical ctan name. For example
Contained in
* TeX Live as jknapltx
* MiKTeX as jknappen
