latex-europasscv

This is an example of how to create a Europass CV with LaTeX (TeX Live) running in a Podman container.

First of all, we need to build a Podman image with TeX Live Full installed:

Bash
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
podman build -t img-debian-texlive:latest - <<'EOF'
# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1

FROM docker.io/library/debian:13

RUN <<'EOF2' /bin/bash -e
    apt-get update
    apt-get install -y texlive-full
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
EOF2

WORKDIR /v
EOF

Note: this can take a lot of time and the resulting image will be very big (8+ GB)

Then download the Europass CV template, customize it and convert it to PDF:

Bash
1
podman run --rm -v.:/v img-debian-texlive pdflatex europasscv_en.tex

Tips

💡 If you get an error like LaTeX Warning: Reference 'LastPage' on page 1 undefined on input line 123 just try to run the command twice. This is because LaTeX can't know yet how many pages there will be on the first run.

💡 If you need some cool icons in your document, check out \usepackage{fontawesome5}.
