Generally this is correct. But there are providers such as the Hostsharing cooperative where it is possible to install programs in a shared hosting environment. We do it for years. ;-) > Otherwise: What kind of documentation do you need? Installing ConTeXt on a > (web) server is not different from any other Linux system.

I am very interested in running ConTeXt as a service, too. I am still nurturing the idea of a publishing cooperative for self publishers with a Markdown --> Pandoc --> ConTeXt workflow with a nice web frontend. I hope to make it to the next ConTeXt meeting to discuss it.

[NTG-context] ConTeXt as a service
In reply to: https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2019/096313.html I personally run ConTeXt as a service (as a sort of do-it-yourself Overleaf). I use floobits (https://floobits.com/Denubis) as an intermediary code server, and their floomatic sevice(https://floobits.com/help/floomatic) running on a server I have. That then calls a shell script that invokes ConTeXt, which writes logs and pdfs to an nginx monitored folder. It's been running for about 4 years now and has been solid enough for me to use without thinking too much about. Happy to share code and details. My deployment is super-hacky, but it works? -Brian ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] LuaTeX incompatible with Lua

Dear list,
The following Lua script behaves differently when executed in Lua vs.
LuaTeX.
print(os.execute("date"))
It seems that the definition of os_execute in loslibext.c was copied
over from Lua 5.1 and not adapted to newer versions.
$ lua5.1 test.lua

$ lua5.2 test.lua
true exit 0
$ lua5.3 test.lua
true exit 0
$ texlua test.lua

$ luajit test.lua

$ texluajit test.lua

As you can see from the example, this comes with the additional
complication that LuaJIT has Lua 5.1 behaviour and should also retain
that.
Indeed, the old interface was kept (also for compatibility reasons as
lua is used for scripts in texlive etc).
If one used lua as well as luatex as lua engine for the same script one
can write a wrapper if needed (I have been thinking of that on context
but again it would also mean adapting older scripts laying around.)
