php - How can I compile LaTeX from a front-end website?
Get the solution ↓↓↓
As Overleaf is not lightweight enough to handle LaTeX compiling as a self-hosted service on a Raspberry Pi 4 (ARMv7, 4GB RAM), I'd like to create a small front-end website from which I can:
- Retrieve LaTeX sources from a git hosted on my RPi;
- Compile them into a PDF that will be served on my page.
I'm thinking about running the script with PHP (through AJAX), passing options thanks to a small config file within the git project (like BibTeX compiling and multiple compiling to render Tikz and the TOCs).
I think it's feasible, but maybe it's not the best technology to do so (is Node.js more suited?).
There is also the problem about user rights: should the script be run by thewww-data user? or by a dedicated user (it may requiresudo)?
Any help is appreciated. :-)
I'm not sure SO is suited for this kind of open question, but I'm not aware of any other platform to ask this to.
