This Docker image runs ConTeXt standalone on Ubuntu 16.04 in order to guarantee a stable environment that leads to reproducible results for your ConTeXt compilation.
Install Docker according to the Docker installation guide.
Make a directory for this repository and clone it:
mkdir {DIRNAME}
cd {DIRNAME}
git clone https://github.com/MRodz/docker-context.git
Then build the image (this will take some time):
sudo docker build -t {YOUR_TAG}
Note: In case you have a separate UNIX group for Docker you can omit sudo. For more information about this, have a look at this Docker help page.
In order for this container to run properly, make sure you have the TeX-file you want to compile in this directory.
Start the container with
./contextdocker.sh
Then compile the file with
./compile.sh
Since the current TeX-file is fetched from your host directory every time you run compile.sh, you can make changes while the container is still running. Simply run compile.sh again to compile the changed file.
The output PDF will automatically be pushed to your host directory.
Feel free to submit pull requests to improve this Dockerfile.
