Development
This repo contains two dockerfiles, Dockerfile-base, which builds the
sharelatex/sharelatex-base image, and Dockerfile which builds the
sharelatex/sharelatex (or "community") image.
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 to build these images.
How the Overleaf code gets here
This repo uses the public Overleaf repository, which used to be the main public source for the Overleaf system.
That repo is cloned down into the docker image, and a script then installs all the services.
How services run inside the container
We use the Phusion base-image
(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 ./runit
folder.
