How to open PDF when succeed to build about texlive-ja HOT 2 CLOSED

Docker container cannot access to host machine, so it is no way to open PDF from container.

However, you can save PDF to host machine using volume mount.
I think using docker-compose.yml is easier way.

Using docker-compose.yml

First, make docker-compose.yml into your working directory.

version: '2'
services:
  build:
    image: paperist/alpine-texlive-ja
    volumes:
      - './:/workdir'
    command: |
        platex example &&
        pbibtex example &&
        platex example &&
        platex example &&
        dvipdfmx example

Next, when you build, type docker-compose run --rm build && open example.pdf

Tips

Latexmk

This image contains latexmk command.
latexmk is simple and useful command for building.
See http://mg.readthedocs.io/latexmk.html.

First, you put latexmkrc like below to your working directory.

$latex = 'platex -halt-on-error -interaction=nonstopmode';
$bibtex = 'pbibtex';
$dvipdf = 'dvipdfmx %O -o %D %S';
$makeindex = 'pmendex %O -o %D %S';
$pdf_mode = 3;
$bibtex_use = 2;

Next, rewrite docker-compose.yml to use latekmk.

version: '2'
services:
  latexmk:
    image: paperist/alpine-texlive-ja
    volumes:
      - './:/workdir'
    entrypoint: latexmk

When you build, type docker-compose run --rm latexmk example.tex && open example.pdf
When cleanup, type docker-compose run --rm latexmk -C example.tex

whalebrew

If your machine is macOS or linux, you can use whalebrew.
whalebrew enables to use docker image like command.

First, install whalebrew ( see https://github.com/bfirsh/whalebrew#install )

Next, type whalebrew install paperist/latexmk.
( Docker image from https://github.com/Paperist/whalebrew-latexmk )

When you build, type latexmk example.tex && open example.pdf
When cleanup, type latexmk -C example.tex

I hope that you can write comfortably.

Thank you, it worked well.
