Hello Christopher
I have a docker image with LaTeX installed in order not to "pollute" my
local filesystem with the 4GB of additional libraries a full LaTeX
installation requires.
If your co-worker is a software developer you could use that approach.
Here is mi Dockerfile for LaTeX:
FROM ubuntu:xenial
MAINTAINER Martin Alsinet <martin@alsinet>
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive
RUN apt-get update -q
RUN apt-get install -y texlive-full gnuplot python-pygments
RUN apt-get clean
RUN rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
Save that in a file named *Dockerfile* in a blank folder and run *docker
build -t latex .*
This will create a docker image named latex with all the libraries and
executables neatly tucked away.
Then, in order to use it, you can save the following script in
~/bin/pdflatex
#!/bin/sh
export PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
docker run --rm \
-v $(pwd):$(pwd) \
-v ~/.ssh:/root/.ssh \
-w $(pwd) \
latex \
pdflatex $@
rm *.log *.aux
rm -f *.ent
rm -Rf _minted-*
With that you can use the *pdflatex* command as usual, and docker creates a
temporary container (docker run --rm ...) from the image, runs the pdflatex
command and removes the container after execution.
bash-3.2$ pdflatex --version
