I planning to use LaTeX in a docker environment for server-based generation of PDF-reports.
In the current test system environment I am playing around using this docker container from the hub which seems to work quite well.
However, as stated the container's dockerfile the container is based on Ubuntu which leads to a relative huge container size compared to the functionality I really need due to Ubuntu's system overhead.
I think I can get rid of that unneeded system overhead as Docker Inc. did by using Alpine Linux instead of Ubuntu.
Unfortunately I cannot find any LaTeX packages in Alpine's repositories. I installed a non-docker based Alpine system as a virtual machine and tried:
apk update
apk search -v --description 'latex'
which did not found any related packages. In addition to that I was not able to find any further information about LaTeX packages using Google.
So, is there something like an official repository providing LaTeX for Alpine or is there a way for using e.g. the Debian/Ubuntu packages in Alpine?
Update:
There is a texlive package available. However as discussed here that seems to be broken somehow...
Update due to broken link:
The link provided above is broken. The new link to the packages overview is here.
