This image was created to provide a consistent \LaTeX environment. It also provides the pandoc tool for converting documents into various types. For example, this README.md document can be converted into \LaTeX and then further a PDF document. Give it a try,
./compile-document.sh README
The command above should produce a README.pdf. The script is just running the following Docker command,
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/work wsams/latex bash \
-c "cd /work && \
pandoc -s README.md -o README.tex && \
pdflatex README.tex"
If you just want to convert a resume.tex document into a PDF using pdflatex you can run the following,
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/work wsams/latex bash \
-c "cd /work && pdflatex resume.tex"
Of course you can do anything possible with the texlive packages. Below is a list currently available in debian:bullseye. Below the list is an example if you want to build your own custom image.

Create your own Dockerfile with the following contents. In this example we'll install the texlive-music package.
FROM wsams/latex
RUN apt-get update && \
apt-get install -y texlive-music && \
apt-get clean -y
Now build your image,
docker build -t music-latex --pull .
Once your new music-latex image is built you can begin creating beautiful sheetmusic. The commands will be similar to the previous examples.
Have fun!
