Hi!

It seems xelatex is missing some librairies in this image:

bash-4.4# xelatex -help

I'm satisfied with my ./manuscript.tex is compiled correctly with command
docker-compose run --rm latexmk manuscript.tex

But I want to move *.tex and *.pdf into ./docs/ next.

I tried the procedures below but compilation failed finally.

My trial

Move manuscript

mkdir docs
mv .manuscript.tex ./docs

Edit docker-compose.yml

  volumes:
-    - './:/workdir'
+   - './docs/:/workdir

Rebuild docker-compose

docker-compose up -d

Compile .tex

docker-compose run --rm latexmk manuscript.tex

Thanks to the answer to #2, I managed to set workflow using latexmk up.

I tried to watch *.tex file update using -pvc option,
but it failed because acroread is not installed to the Docker image.

Would you tell me how can I install acroread to the image?

Thanks,

HI, this is noe. I use it with write paper with latex.
I saw this error when I use .eps file in latex.

latex-test-latex-1  | Running 'dvipdfmx  -o "template.pdf" "template.dvi"'
latex-test-latex-1  | ------------
latex-test-latex-1  | template.dvi -> template.pdf
latex-test-latex-1  | [1][2][3][4][5][6

latex-test-latex-1  | dvipdfmx:fatal: Image inclusion failed for "sampleimage.eps" (page=1).

This seems to be an error caused by ghostscript not being installed on debian or alpine. (If I installed ghostscript in docker container, this problem was solved).

When writing a paper, eps files are minor, but sometimes used.
In this case, can I ask you to add the installation of ghostscript? Or should we customize our own Dockerfile and install it additionally?

Have a nice day!

Hi,

I'd like to know how to change from Japanese based to English based.
Which code do I need to update?

Thank you.

The size difference between debian and alpine is mainly due to fontconfig-dev and freetype-dev.
I assume this difference can be shrunk. TeX Live does usually not require any dev packages and dev packages are large in debian.

(Investigated with https://github.com/wagoodman/dive)

Debian

Alpine

Debian without dev packages

Alpine without dev packages

Hi, your image was working perfect until recently, but now tlmgr fails with the following error:

tlmgr install fontawesome multibib

tlmgr: Remote repository is newer than local (2018 < 2019)
Cross release updates are only supported with
  update-tlmgr-latest(.sh/.exe) --update
Please see https://tug.org/texlive/upgrade.html for details.
Exited with code 1

I guess it's because TeX Live 2019 has been released?

Thank you for developing a great container. It worked and a pdf file was created.
But would you tell me how can I open the pdf file from docker image (I'm a novice of Docker, so excuse me for asking a stupid question)?

I compiled example.tex from a shell script like

platex example
pbibtex example
platex example
platex example
dvipdfmx example
open example.pdf.

The last command containing open command fails because the command did not work in the docker image.

What command should I use to open a file in the image?
I found a word linux in the Dockerfile, so I tested

• xgd-open
• evince-open
• gnome-open
• etc...
  but none of them worked.
