Just curious, how do handle input and output? Do you prepare a volume with the input and then grab output from there as well, or the program inside the container is fetching input from somewhere first, runs exec latex and then uploads the output elsewhere?

Yes, we use a volume to get files in and out of the container, and then we upload the relevant files to Cloud Files for the client.
