## Other repositories
|
|
|
|
This repository does not contain any code. It acts a wrapper and toolkit for managing the many different Overleaf services. These each run as their own Node.js process and have their own Github repository. These are all downloaded and set up when you run `grunt install`
|

## Overleaf Docker Image
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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 `./runit`
|
|
folder.
