This repository is no longer maintained, as Sharelatex was acquired by Overleaf, the original Sharelatex repository no longer exists, and they have official docker images.
A docker image for running sharelatex. Still working, losely maintained, as ShareLaTex already has their own official image: https://hub.docker.com/r/sharelatex/sharelatex/ In contrast to the official repository this version runs in a single container.
To acquire the build image from the docker's repositories execute:
docker pull tiagoboldt/sharelatex-docker
To build the image from source execute:
git clone https://github.com/tiagoboldt/sharelatex-docker.git
cd sharelatex-docker
docker build -t tiagoboldt/sharelatex-docker:sharelatex .
Please keep in mind the building process will take up to 1 hour.
To start the instance execute:
mkdir /srv/sharelatex-data
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -v /srv/sharelatex-data:/data tiagoboldt/sharelatex-docker
It will be available on http://localhost:3000. Files will be kept in /srv/sharelatex-data. First execution might take some time to be ready. This is due to MongoDb pre-allocation.
docker run -it -p 3000:3000 -v /srv/sharelatex-data:/data tiagoboldt/sharelatex-docker /bin/bash
cd /sharelatex/web
sharelatex.sh > /dev/null &
# wait until sharelatex is available at http://localhost:3000
grunt create-admin-user --email=joe@example.com
# click the url and set your password
# new users can be registred at http://localhost:3000/admin/register
ShareLaTex has an official docker image. It was introduced after this image was made available and it is not as well documented, hence, this image is still maintained.
