[Tex/LaTex] GitLab CI using MiKTeX docker image

automationcontinuous integrationmiktex

I'm trying to set up a GitLab CI to compile my LaTeX file, but I would like to avoid having to download full TeXlive over and over again.
Afaik MiKTeX more or less will only download what is needed for the TeX file.

I already have a proper setup with the docker image blang/latex, but I can't seem to get miktex/miktex to compile.

It always fails with:

2018-06-21 09:40:38,858Z INFO  pdflatex - mpm: extracting files from geometry-de.tar.lzma...
2018-06-21 09:40:39,257Z FATAL pdflatex - The installed file does not exist.

gitlab-ci.yml:

image: miktex/miktex

before_script:
  - apt-get update -qq && apt-get install -y -qq inkscape python-pygments

build:
  script:
    - ./convert_svg.sh
    - pdflatex -shell-escape abgabe.tex
  artifacts:
    paths:
      - "*.pdf"

This is my project: https://gitlab.com/ZerataX/DS_TEMPLATE/

if there is some other tex distribution that is smaller, but also installs my dependencies automatically that would also be a great solution to my problem.

Best Answer

geometry-de doesn't contain geometry.sty (see https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex-packaging/issues/29).

I would recommend that you update the package database: mpm --update-db
