k8s-overleaf

Overleaf deployment for kubernetes environment.

This deployment has been tested for a microk8s cluster with NFS for permanent storage.

Deployment

Requirements:

• K8s cluster
• Kubectl
• Helm

Build the Docker image (optional)

A version of the modified Overleaf image that is required for this deployment has been uploaded to Docker Hub. However, you can build you own image using the Dockerfile in the overleaf directory. In this case, don't forget to push the new image to a registry edit the overleaf-deployment.yaml to point the correct image.

Example:

# Build and tag the image
docker build -t abompotas/k8s-overleaf:5 ./deployment
# Push the image to Docker Hub
docker push abompotas/k8s-overleaf:5

Deploy the application

Simply run the deploy.sh script.

Example:

cd deployment
./deploy.sh

Install LaTeX packages (Optional)

Overleaf's default installation is missing some of the most common packages. These can installed by modifying the post-installation scripts of the sharelatex image or by executing commands directly inside the container.

Example:

tlmgr install collection-latexrecommended
tlmgr install collection-fontsrecommended
tlmgr install collection-latexextra
tlmgr install algorithms
tlmgr install algorithmicx
tlmgr install apacite
