Installing texlive is not hard; never used Docker. https://tug.org/texlive/ https://tug.org/texlive/ The macOS installer is very easy to use and you can even install a basic version that installs the main latex packages you need (91MB). If you need to install more than the basic ones there is a package manager UI for that (TeX Live utility). Of course I just install the full version and I have everything. It is 5.7GB download.
