How can I set up a compile server and editing client on different machines?
Context
I use my netbook for document editing, but it doesn't have the storage space to run a full TeX distribution. It is running Windows 10, and I primarily use Atom for editing. I also have an HTPC running Ubuntu, with ssh, tex-live and a samba fileshare.
Problem
I want to edit tex files on my netbook, have them compiled on the HTPC, and view the resultant PDFs back on the netbook just as if they had been compiled locally. synctex would be a bonus.
Solutions?
Since I didn't find any programs which fit the bill on my (admittedly brief) Internet perusal, I have considered a number of more fiddly solutions:
- Reconfigure Atom's
latexpackage somehow to use the HTPC for compilation - Create a local script which purports to locally compile documents, but essentially acts as a gateway to the HTPC's distribution
- Save the
texfiles to the HTPC viasamba, and set up the compiler there to watch it for changes - Do the same thing as above, but in reverse (so the HTPC accesses the files on the netbook and compiles them)
