+To compile a LaTeX file through a Docker container, the first step was to create a Dockerfile. Using the texlive and latexmk frameworks, we created this Dockerfile:
+
+\begin{minted}{javascript}
+
+FROM debian:bookworm-slim
+
+ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
+
+RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
+    texlive-latex-base \
+    texlive-latex-recommended \
+    texlive-latex-extra \
+    texlive-fonts-recommended \
+    latexmk \
+    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
+
+WORKDIR /data
+
+CMD ["latexmk", "-pdf", "main.tex"]
+
+\end{minted}
+
+The file uses a lightweight Debian base to install the requird tools from texlive and latexmk. From there, it establishes /data as the working directory of the container, and runs a command to compile a LaTeX file named "main.tex".
+
+\newpage
+
+From there, we build the container by placing the Dockerfile inside the directory of the LaTeX project and running:
+
+\begin{minted}{bash}
+docker build -t my-latex-compiler .
+\end{minted}
+
+This sets up the container, named "my-latex-compiler" for use. To start the container and compile the LaTeX project, we run:
+
+\begin{minted}{bash}
+docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/data" my-latex-compiler
+\end{minted}
+
+Once the command runs, a main.pdf file is created inside the LaTeX project directory, containing the compiled project. To test this, we ran the container on a barebones sample document containing some text, an image, and a table. The compiler created an identical result to downloading the document as a pdf from Overleaf, proving its success. The only downsides are that the primary .tex file of the project being compiled must be named main.tex, and that LaTeX errors that Overleaf can still compile through cannot be ignored by our compiler. These can be overcome by changing the expected name in the Dockerfile and being more thorough in error fixing when manually editing the LaTeX.
