A docker image based on Ubuntu with a full TeX Live suite and additional packages like pygmentize to enable easy compilation of TeX files in continuous integration environments like Gitlab CI.
Choose the correct TeX Live version you want: from 2016 to 2021. In addition, choose your desired scheme i.e., a collection of packages. We support all schemes that the TuG TeX Live offers. See also the matrices below for a list of docker images and their dependencies.
If you chose your image, e.g., philipptempel/docker-ubuntu-tug-texlive:2020-basic you can simply use it as a docker image e.g., docker run -t philipptempel/docker-ubuntu-tug-texlive:2020-basic inside of which you can run any LaTeX-related compiler.
To compile using latexmk, just start the image and rund latexmk <file.tex>.
Same goes for lualatex, pdflatex, xelatex, and other derivatives.
In addition, you can also install additional packages if need be using tlmgr install <package>.
Use the following example .gitlab-ci.yml.
It is split into two targets, one running on master branch (job final) and one running on any other branch (job draft).
The latexmk call assumes that you have configured your project with a .latexmkrc so that the @default_files variable is set.
Otherwise, of course, it must be latexmk source.tex.
For any further adjustments of the GitLab CI configuration, please refer to the GitLab docs.

expire_in: 1 weekThe latest tag always refers to the current year and a build that is at most 1 week old.
This way, updated packages will always be included very timely.
Older i.e., deprecated or archived versions, are also available, however, these will not be updated anymore: only the underlying Ubuntu will be updated monthly with available security fixes, however, TeX Live will not receive any updates as the upstream does not receive updates.
Every year comes in various flavors representing the different texlive schemes.
