Pandoc has an official Docker image pandoc/latex. I like to use the Eisvogel LaTeX template. Unfortunately, you cannot build PDFs from Markdown using this template with pandoc/latex. Some packages from TeX Live are missing.
Therefore, I created a Docker image based on pandoc/latex that can build PDFs using Eisvogel. You can find it on Docker Hub under rstropek/pandoc-latex.
The examples folder contains an example document (markdown content, YAML metadata) including the generated PDF document.
The following docker run statement will generate mydoc.pdf from the markdown file mydoc.md with the YAML metadata in mydoc.yaml. Try to run the statement inside the example folder.
Several optional packages, mentioned by pandoc/latex, are preinstalled in the image.
That includes sectsty, for those who want to add line breaks before chapters without using the book property.
See this issue for more details.
Tested with Eisvogel LaTeX template 1.4.0.
