Maxima-on-alpine docker container

This container helps with compilation of latex sources without the need to install all latex packages on your system; maxima is a computer algebra system that plays (relatively) nicely with TeX.

This repository is forked from blang's repository in order to add other packages needed to run Maxima scripts for a CI setup. Minimally maintained, accepts PRs!

Setup

Get Docker configured on your system, then build the image with

docker build -t jgoldfar/maxima-docker -f Dockerfile.debian .

Usage:

docker run --rm -i --user="$(id -u):$(id -g)" --net=none -v "$(pwd)":/data jgoldfar/maxima-docker:debian-latest

Your current working directory should be mounted to /data inside the running container.
