Overleaf: tlmgr verify checksum error

[vinaysb]

Hello, I am running an instance of sharelatex/overleaf on my system via docker. When I try to run docker exec sharelatex tlmgr install scheme-full I get the following error,

/usr/local/texlive/2019/bin/x86_64-linux/tlmgr: unexpected return value from verify_checksum: -5

I even tried to add the tlcontrib & its verification, I still got the same error

This seems to be a problem in TeX Live at the moment, based on mailing list traffic. Karl Berry says:

Indeed, the gpg key for the main TL19 repository expired yesterday :(. The TL20 release will have an updated key.

There have been no updates to TL19 for some weeks, and won't be any in the future. If you want/need to run tlmgr from TL19 anyway, e.g., because there are some older updates you didn't previously get, you can tell it to skip verification with tlmgr --verify-repo=none.

TL20 seems to be released now, so a new image on docker hub would be helpful.

So... when will this be fixed? Looks to me like a simple change of a 2 characters somewhere

But how can i run overleaf with the sharelatex image with TL20?

You can do a manual upgrade. You actually only need steps 8 and 10. On my instance, 10 errors, but a tlmgr install scheme-full afterwards fixes all problems :smile:

Why is this closed? This is a valid bug report and probably affects many users. Updating with a command line switch did not work for me either. I am currently running a docker container that I upgraded to TL 2020 after(!) creating it. Really hacky but it sort of works. Would be great to see an update to the official sharelatex-base image.

@Keridos That's what I've been doing too. I have turned it into a permanent (but not quite proper) solution with docker-compose by adding a bind-mount volume like this:
- /var/opt/overleaf/sharelatex_texlive:/usr/local/texlive/2020,
then installing TeXLive 2020 inside the running container and finally added the following to the environment:
PATH: '/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/texlive/2020/bin/x86_64-linux/'

Would be great to see an update to the official sharelatex-base image.

The CE 2.3.x images from June should be using TL 2020:
