the ConTeXt dockerfiles from “Island of TeX” (https://github.com/islandoftex/context) … – still distinguish MkIV beta/current – install modules via rsync also for LMTX which pulls in some outdated ones – use Debian instead of Alpine because Linux/MUSL binary wasn’t working at the time (but should now, otherwise compiling it on the fly is an option)
Would it make sense to change this?
I opened a new issue there volunteering to help:
Thank you!
I stumbled upon it since I’m using ConTeXt in one Jenkins job at work, and the (full) TeX live docker image is needlessly huge. If your proposal of a scheme-context TeX live image works the same as the LMTX image, even better. I don’t even need modules in this case – I don’t think all of them are included in TeX live, need to check…
I'm pretty sure Max will manage to get a minimal install (without the texlive base overhead) + modules working. And then also write a wrapup how to use that docker efficiently (connect to local file system for a run and such). Maybe caching is the main challenge.
