dante-ev / docker-texlive Goto Github PK

In the Dockerfile, texlive-full in installed and later updated with tlmgr update --all.
However, when the latter is issued no package is updated, as tlmgr will see no packages as installed.

PS C:\> docker run -it danteev/texlive:latest                                                                           root@5fd1f6d862d6:/home# tlmgr info --only-installed
(running on Debian, switching to user mode!)
root@5fd1f6d862d6:/home# tlmgr update --all
(running on Debian, switching to user mode!)
tlmgr: package repository http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/CTAN/systems/texlive/tlnet (verified)
tlmgr: no updates available

Thus, the resulting packages will always be those included in the texlive-full Debian package, many of which are currently outdated.

https://github.com/sylvainhalle/textidote is a nice tool to lint and spell check LaTeX files. It should be included somehow.

Hi,

I was looking for linters and I discovered that the following are available:

• lacheck
• chktex
• latexindent

The two first are working fine, however, latexindent doesn't seems to work.

Here's the log:

$ docker-compose run texlive latexindent src/analysis/index.tex
Creating continuouslatex_texlive_run ... done
Can't locate Log/Dispatch/File.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Log::Dispatch::File module) (@INC contains: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/latexindent /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.32.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.32.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.32 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.32 /usr/share/perl/5.32 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/latexindent/LatexIndent/LogFile.pm line 24.

Since TL is updated daily, the docker image should be updated daily, too.

This is avilable on GitHub actions (see https://github.com/dante-ev/latex-action/blob/master/.github/workflows/test.yml#L5 for an example)

The image doesn't seem to contain documentation for any of the installed packages, even for texdoc itself.
Examples:

root@8ae96bb31d97:/workspaces/rapport# texdoc texdoc
Sorry, no documentation found for "texdoc".
If you are unsure about the name, try full-text searching on CTAN.
Search form: <https://www.ctan.org/search/>

root@8ae96bb31d97:/workspaces/rapport# texdoc csquotes
Sorry, no documentation found for "csquotes".
If you are unsure about the name, try full-text searching on CTAN.
Search form: <https://www.ctan.org/search/>

root@8ae96bb31d97:/workspaces/rapport# texdoc babel
Sorry, no documentation found for "babel".
If you are unsure about the name, try full-text searching on CTAN.
Search form: <https://www.ctan.org/search/>

In fact, I can't find a single package known to texdoc. Am I doing something wrong? Is this normal behaviour? If so, do you have any clues for how I could fix it?

Hi! Thanks for this docker image!

I would like to know how to update the texlive version in danteev/texlive inside a Github actions workflow?

This issue is related to fmarotta/kaobook#157

Thank you in advance!

First, thanks for providing the image!

As of today, the "latest" tag points to a texlive 2019 based image:

# podman run --rm -ti docker.io/danteev/texlive:latest latex --version

docker.io/danteev/texlive        latest           4eab049c4b6b  3 days ago     8.64 GB

is this on purpose? And if so, what would be the correct label to get the "real" latest version?

The debian image used by docker-texlive is no longer maintained and has been archived. As a result, adding a packet to the container is no longer possible. An "apt-get update" performed in the container fails. Is an update of the debian image used planned?

The plantuml.jar is overwritten if a docker volume is mounted on /home. If you then try to compile a document which uses the plantuml CTAN package plantuml.jar is not available.

A quick workaround: docker run --rm -it -v /path/to/project:/home/work danteev/texlive bash -c 'cd work && latexmk -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode -file-line-error -shell-escape -pdf -pdflatex=lualatex document.tex'

To fix this issue I'd suggest to either mount the plantuml.jar in another place or add a note to the readme.

Minted requires Pygments for syntax highlighting. Could you consider including it? The package should not noticeably increase the image size but would be very helpful as it allows the image to be use in more contexts out of the box.

@aergus also works on a complete Dockerfile. The ideas of him could be integrated here.

Especially:

apt-get --purge remove -y .\*-doc$ && \

And fig2dev

The latest tag could benefit from automatic builds to be up-to-date

Avoid this message:

Suppose the following structure:

parent-directory
├── current-directory
│   └── current-file.tex % Contains: \documentclass{article}\begin{document}\input{../parent-file}\end{document}
└── parent-file.tex      % Contains: Hey, I'm the content of the parent file!

With a non Docker installation of the TeX Live and a texmf.cnf file that contains openout_any = r, the compilation of current-file.tex is possible.

With the docker image you provide, all my attempts failed. So far I tried by adding a local texmf.cnf file containing openout_any = r in each of these directories and running:

$ cd /home/bitouze/parent-directory/current-directory
$ docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/workdir danteev/texlive pdflatex current-file

or:

$ cd /home/bitouze/parent-directory/current-directory
$ docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd)/..:/workdir danteev/texlive pdflatex current-directory/current-file

but in each case, that returns:

! LaTeX Error: File `../parent-file.tex' not found.

With the docker image you provide, is it possible to compile files which input files in parent directories?

I'd like to call bibtool inside my build scripts to generate a clean bibliography file before compiling.
Now, it seems that this is not part of texlive (I thought it was), so it requires an extra installation.
On Debian, apt install bibtool does the trick, but although this docker image is based on debian, this command seems to fail:

.gitlab-ci.yml:

default:
  image: danteev/texlive
  before_script:
    - apt install bibtool

build:
  script:
    - cd src
    - bibtool -r bib/bibtoolrc content/references.bib > content/references-clean.bib                         
    - latexmk -f -outdir=.. -pdf main.tex
  artifacts:
    paths:
      - "main.pdf"

log:

With this simple document (lualatex-simple.tex):

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{QTGraphLite}
\begin{document}
Essai
\end{document}

the following command:

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/workdir danteev/texlive latexmk -pdflua lualatex-simple.tex

reruns lualatex at each run !

As /usr/local/texlive is writeable, the following files are (re)created at each run:

Rule 'lualatex':  Reasons for rerun
Changed files or newly in use/created:
  /usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-var/luatex-cache/generic/names/luaotfload-lookup-cache.luc

The CHANGELOG.md states for version 2021-A

Remove Python, because it is not required in a default setup

however python is advertised both here in the Readme, and on the docker page. Is is also available locally in the container, but pip (or python -m pip) fails even though listed on the docker page. Is this intended behaviour, and if so could you please direct people in the readme on how to make pip available?
I use this container for a build process that also creates figures, and python including pip is necessary. Tonight the build process failed with No module named pip. It would be great to get it to work again, the container is of great help!
Cheers

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 inkscape : Depends: libgomp1 (>= 4.9) but it is not going to be installed
            Depends: libmagick++-6.q16-8 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I guess /etc/apt/sources.list has to be updated?

https://github.com/dante-ev/docker-texlive/blob/master/Dockerfile#L18

Check existance of pdfsizeopt, add it, and document usage.

I have an action based on this image, and 4 days ago my action started taking double the time. From 3:30 minutes to 7-8 minutes.
Is there a way i can use a previous version of the docker image?

Actually the action that i'm using is this one: https://github.com/Jatus93/Latex-multicompiler on release 1.
The dockerfile of this action look like this

FROM danteev/texlive

COPY entrypoint.sh /entrypoint.sh

RUN chmod +x /entrypoint.sh

ENTRYPOINT ["/bin/bash", "/entrypoint.sh"]

• texlive-full seems to depend on pyhton3
• seldridge added some python3 packages: seldridge@a009542
