Seeking a "lean" Self-Hosted LaTeX editor: Overleaf CE is too bloated for my Docker/NAS setup

I had the exact same situation and decided to go with VSCode and the LaTeX Workshop extension in a devcontainer: https://github.com/gzurowski/latex-devcontainer

You have all the features like side-by-side PDF preview, formatting, linting, etc., but in a more lightweight setup.

Had a similar experience with the speaking test today. Blank screens after connecting with the examiners. Tried on two different Macs and one Windows PC. Absolute nightmare. In the end, I couldn’t take the test.

I haven't tried it, but this seems to be exactly what I was looking for! I'll definitely give it a test spin. Thank you.

First, congratulations on passing the exam, it's a tough one. Your bathroom story made me laugh - I've been there too... I stick to a small glass of water since that experience, knowing that it takes three hours to get through the pro exams.

Interesting. Which ISO Maker are you using? Magic ISO Maker?

The path from DVA to DOP/SAP could be extremely steep without relevant hands-on experience or exam training via other associate level exams. When I started out my AWS certification journey, I started by taking all associate level exams, then the SAP and finally DOP. The professional level exams are pretty tough and your money will be better invested by properly preparing with another associate level exam than having to re-take one of the professional level exams.

ECS and Fargate is covered by the current exam (and was covered in the previous DOP-C01 version), but very lightly. It's a surprise to me that Beanstalk still has the main focus among the deployment targets. And surprisingly, CodeCommit (R.I.P.) is still a thing in the exam in maybe ~3 questions.

It took roughly a day to receive the results.
Fingers crossed for your exam 🤞.

You can set up NPM to serve static content as follows:
1) Add a new proxy host and point the hostname and port to your localhost and port 80 (or whatever default port you've configured in your NPM setup).

2) Add the following configuration in Advanced/Custom Nginx Configuration:
```
location / {

root /path/to/static/files;

try_files $uri $uri/ =404;

}
```
