Modified Dockerfile Enabling Successful Build of docker-latex #2

Closed gdhorne closed 7 years ago

gdhorne commented 7 years ago

The Dockerfile has been modified to enable successful builds and the README.md has been updated. Alpine Linux branch: edge and repository: testing has been used instead of Alpine Linux branch: latest. The appropriate texlive-texmf file retrieved so that pdflatex can translate a LaTeX file into a PDF file as demonstrated by test-sample.tex. Created a default unprivileged user account and cleaned up Dockerfile.

I appreciate your work, but, regrettably, I'm going to have deny this PR. My intention of this Docker image is to provide a lightweight container for compiling documents (i.e. smaller than tianon/latex), and this is 0.26 GB larger than tianon/latex. I simply see no point in making something that is "worse" than what is currently available.
