typademic

Warning

This is the last release of typademic. This software will not be continued. The functionality of typademic was integrated into <https://github.com/maehr/academic-pandoc-template> directly via GitHub actions in a more convenient and secure way.

Typademic turns distraction freely written markdown files into beautiful PDFs. Built with love, Google Fonts, Pandoc, and LaTeX.

2. Export your secrets and start the latest typademic docker image.

touch logs/error.log
touch logs/access.log
export SECRET_KEY=SOMESECRETKEY
docker run --name typademic \
    -p 443:8000 \
    -e "SECRET_KEY=${SECRET_KEY}" \
    -v "./logs/error.log:/logs/error.log" \
    -v "./logs/access.log:/logs/access.log" \
