Selfhosting Overleaf (szmer.info)

Do any of you self-host Overleaf? I know there is a Docker project, but from what I've heard it's not easy to install. The Yunohost version used to work but didn't support file upload, so that makes it bad too.

Have any of you successfully installed Overleaf with e.g. Docker and it works just fine? If so, could any of you share e.g. the Docker Compose file?

Are the packages installed to a persistent volume? Or do they need to be reinstalled after recreating the container?

I checked the volumes that I included in the compose file, and looked for either a texlive, tlmgr or a package folder and didn't find anything. I think it's safe to assume that you would need to reinstall the packages if you recreated the containers.

~~This is a problem that I didn't consider. I will try to make an update to my compose file that will keep the packages persistent.~~

Check above for the update!
