A Ruby on Rails application that allows users to build a master CV, tag content, and dynamically generate customized PDFs using LaTeX templates. Built with Devise authentication, Tailwind CSS, and powered by a Dockerized LaTeX compiler.

• User authentication with Devise
• Create and manage CV entries: skills, experience, education, projects
• Tag each entry with descriptive labels (e.g., "frontend", "devops")
• Generate tailored PDF resumes by selecting specific tags
• Uses LaTeX for high-quality document output
• Modular design for extensibility

Special thanks to Aras Güngöre for his excellent LaTeX CV template which serves as the foundation for our PDF exports.

This app uses a Docker container to compile LaTeX files into PDFs.

git clone https://github.com/CatalinPlesu/docker-CV.git
cd docker-CV

docker build -t latex-cv .
docker run -v $(pwd):/data latex-cv pdflatex your_template.tex

This setup is used internally by the Rails app to generate PDFs from LaTeX templates.

• app/models: CV item models (Experience, Education, etc.)
• app/controllers: Controllers handling user actions and exports
• app/views: HTML and LaTeX templates
• app/assets: Tailwind CSS and JS assets
• config/routes.rb: Routing logic
• lib/templates/latex: LaTeX templates for resume generation

• Ruby on Rails
• Tailwind CSS (CDN)
• Devise for authentication
• SQLite3
• Docker (for LaTeX compilation)
• Font Awesome
