\section{Purpose}
This chapter names the hosts that will make up the development environment for
\CourseNumber\ and records the role, platform, and ownership of each. It is an
inventory of intent: no machine listed here has been provisioned, and the chapter therefore
presents no execution \gls{evidence}. It is expected to grow as later
assignments add services to the environment.

\section{Cost and Cleanup}
\index{hosts!cost}
\index{hosts!teardown}
The Linux hosts are expected to run on the smallest instance size that supports
the coursework, under whatever free-tier or credit allowance the account
provides, with a billing alarm configured before the first instance is
launched. Compute is billed per instance-hour, and attached storage whether or
not the instance is running, so each additional host adds cost independently of
how heavily it is used: provisioning \texttt{ssw590-build-01} alongside
\texttt{ssw590-dev-01} would approximately double the compute cost of the
environment. It is therefore left unprovisioned until an assignment requires
builds to be isolated from the deployment target, and would be stopped between
uses rather than run continuously; only \texttt{ssw590-dev-01} needs to remain
available at all times.
\texttt{ssw590-group-web} runs on a \texttt{t3.micro} instance and is covered
by a monthly AWS budget alert. Compute is billed per
instance-hour, and attached storage and the public IPv4 address are billed as
well, so each additional host adds cost independently of how heavily it is
used: provisioning \texttt{ssw590-build-01} would approximately double the
compute cost of the environment. It is therefore left unprovisioned unless
required in the future, and would be stopped between uses rather than run continuously.
Each planned host is disposable. Teardown consists of terminating the instance,
deleting the attached storage volume, and releasing any static address reserved
for it; a static address left reserved after the instance is gone continues to
be billed. Because the \gls{ami} and the configuration steps are recorded, a
terminated host can be rebuilt rather than preserved, which is why teardown is
treated as routine rather than exceptional.
Course hosts are disposable. Teardown consists of terminating the instance and
deleting its storage volume. \texttt{ssw590-group-web} uses an automatically
assigned public address rather than a reserved static address, so there is no
address to release; its address changes if the instance is stopped and
started.

\section{Purpose and Scope}
This chapter records a Docker container that compiles a
\LaTeX\ document with \gls{texlive}, the distribution Overleaf uses to compile
projects.\footnote{\url{https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Overleaf_and_TeX_Live}}
Like Overleaf, it drives pdf\LaTeX\ with \texttt{latexmk}, which reruns the
engine until cross-references settle.
The container is a command-line compiler. It reads a
\texttt{.tex} file from a mounted folder, writes the PDF back to that folder,
and exits. It opens no network ports. The image is not deployed to a course
host or published to a registry; it was built and tested locally under WSL on
Payton's workstation.
\section{Design}
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{L{3.6cm}Y}
\toprule \textbf{Decision} & \textbf{Choice and rationale}\\ \midrule
Base image & \texttt{debian:trixie-slim}. Debian packages its TeX Live release, so the image needs no separate TeX Live installer or mirror.\\
TeX Live packages & \texttt{texlive-latex-base}, \texttt{texlive-latex-recommended}, \texttt{texlive-fonts-recommended}, and \texttt{lmodern}, installed without recommended extras. This covers common packages such as \texttt{amsmath}, \texttt{hyperref}, and \texttt{booktabs} while avoiding the multi-gigabyte full distribution.\\
Build driver & \texttt{latexmk} with pdf\LaTeX, nonstop mode, and halt on the first error, so a failed compile returns a nonzero exit status.\\
Interface & The entrypoint is the compiler; the default argument is \texttt{hello.tex}, and any other file name can be passed to \texttt{docker run}.\\
Source and output & The document folder is bind-mounted at \path{/work}, so sources are not baked into the image and the PDF is written to the host.\\
Privilege & The image defaults to an unprivileged \texttt{latex} user; at run time the container uses the invoking user's IDs so output files are owned by that user. The font cache is kept in \path{/tmp}, outside the mounted folder.\\

\section{Build and Run}
All commands run in a WSL shell from \path{docker/latex-compiler}.
\subsection{Build the Image}

docker build -t ssw590-latex .
docker image ls ssw590-latex
\end{minted}

docker run --rm --user "$(id -u):$(id -g)" -v "$PWD/sample:/work" ssw590-latex
ls -l sample/hello.pdf
grep "Output written" sample/hello.log
\end{minted}
\texttt{-{}-rm} deletes the container when compilation ends. \texttt{-{}-user}
makes the generated files belong to the WSL user instead of the container
user.
