LaTeX Docker

This Docker image provides a lightweight environment for compiling LaTeX documents using latexmk, which handles multiple compilation passes, bibliographies, and error recovery automatically.

✅ Features

• Based on debian:bullseye-slim
• Uses latexmk for simplified and reliable LaTeX builds
• Supports PDF generation out of the box
• Minimal and clean console output

🛠️ Build the Image

docker build -t latex-resume .

🚀 Usage

To compile a LaTeX file (e.g., report.tex):

docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/data" latex-resume sample.tex

• --rm cleans up the container after it runs
• -v "$PWD:/data" mounts the current working directory into the container
• The default working directory inside the container is /data

If you're compiling a file with a different name:

docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/data" latex-resume my_report.tex
