consider including bibtool? about docker-texlive HOT 5 CLOSED

Alright then, I will close the issue. Thanks for the pointer about build registries. I will have a look at this.
Happy new year :)

You should do sth. like https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/dockerfile_best-practices/#sort-multi-line-arguments. And also build your own custom Docker image based on this one. Otherwise it will install the package every time your Pipeline runs.

Sure, I could do that, but the main attraction of this project for me is that it maintains a complete texlive image that I can simply use in my CI tasks. I solved this particular case simply by checking in the outputs of bibtools..

Yeah you are right on that point :). But adding every tool from the enormous TeX world would make this image even bigger. So the extension via an own Docker file is very straight forward way. And GitLab and GitHub have build in Registries thus it is even faster than pulling the image from Docker Hub. Which has rate limits now.

Nice discussion. I think, this image should be a ready-to-go image for most use cases. Therefore, a JRE is included and some other tools. Making the image very large. This is sort of documented in ADR-001 and ADR-002. Need to write it down better.

Customized images should IMHO base on https://github.com/reitzig/texlive-docker. Alternatively, we should work on flavours for ourselves. Maybe, we could also write a Dockerfile generator generating the right commands based on the .tex source code to compile.

Regarding bibtool, I am a bit biased as I am the core developer of JabRef, which can also be used on the command line. I know that its startup time is slower.

The reason why the installation fails is that there is no information available on packakges any more in the image:

I think, bibtool is a small tool. Thus, the image size should not be significantly increased. Thus, I am trying to add it at #17.

The hint on the other registries was given at #10 (comment). Hopefully, I'll find the time to do so.
