+# Overleaf Docker images w/ full TeX Live
+This repository contains a GitLab CI pipeline that automatically pulls the latest Overleaf Docker image, installs a complete copy of TeX Live on top of it, then pushes the resulting modified image to GitLab’s [container registry](https://git.fifo-f.eu/tex-projects/docker-images/container_registry).
