Build and run Overleaf CE containers on macOS arm64

Build and run Overleaf CE containers on macOS arm64.md

Get the repository

git clone https://github.com/overleaf/overleaf.git

I am using commit 6fa708982b376b8c7d281ef1d9c1f2487c34124e on the main branch

Build containers

Inside the overleaf repository:

docker build -t sharelatex-base -f ./server-ce/Dockerfile-base .
docker build -t sharelatex -f ./server-ce/Dockerfile --build-arg OVERLEAF_BASE_TAG=sharelatex-base .

Build the container that contains everything

Use the attached Dockerfile.full file

docker build -t sharelatex-full -f ./Dockerfile-full .
docker tag sharelatex-full:latest sharelatex/sharelatex:latest

Bring up the containers using docker-compose

Inside the overleaf repository:

docker compose up -d

Using Overleaf CE

First launch: Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:80/launchpad to create the admin account.

Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:80 on your web browser. Have fun! :)
