## Key Features [Overleaf](https://www.overleaf.com) is an open-source online real-time collaborative LaTeX editor. We run a hosted version at [www.overleaf.com](https://www.overleaf.com), but you can also run your own local version, and contribute to the development of Overleaf. *[If you want help installing and maintaining Overleaf in your lab or workplace, we offer an officially supported version called Overleaf Server Pro. It also comes with extra security and admin features.

The Base image generally contains the basic dependencies like `wget` and `aspell`, plus `texlive`. We split this out because it's a pretty heavy set of dependencies, and it's nice to not have to rebuild all of that every time. The `sharelatex/sharelatex` image extends the base image and adds the actual Overleaf code and services. Use `make build-base` and `make build-community` from `server-ce/` to build these images. We use the [Phusion base-image](https://github.com/phusion/baseimage-docker) (which is extended by our `base` image) to provide us with a VM-like container in which to run the Overleaf services. Baseimage uses the `runit` service manager to manage services, and we add our init-scripts from the `server-ce/runit` folder. ## Contributing Please see the [CONTRIBUTING](https://github.com/overleaf/overleaf/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) file for information on contributing to the development of Overleaf. See [our wiki](https://github.com/overleaf/overleaf/wiki/Developer-Guidelines) for information on setting up a development environment and how to recompile and run Overleaf after modifications. ## Authors [The Overleaf Team](https://www.overleaf.com/about) ## License The code in this repository is released under the GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, version 3.
