Instead of installing and running Kile on your host machine you can install it inside a docker container. You don't need to bloat your host machine with all those latex packages and dependencies. Useful if you want to keep your host system clean.
This utilizes the X11 protocol to display the Kile GUI on your host machine while running the application inside a Docker container.
- Docker / Docker Compose
- X11 server running (Xorg or Xwayland)
- Allow Access to X Server
xhost +local:docker- Run the Docker container
docker compose up -d- After you are done, revoke access to the X server
xhost -local:docker- Allow Access to X Server
xhost +SI:localuser:$(whoami)- Run the Docker container
docker compose up -d- After you are done, revoke access to the X server
xhost -SI:localuser:$(whoami)
