What you get

Real TeX Live on the server: pdflatex, xelatex, lualatex, with SyncTeX both directions.
Project sharing with owner / editor / reader roles and a git-backed proposal workflow for review-then-merge edits.
Sandboxed compiles via bubblewrap, with per-user disk quotas and per-compile CPU / memory caps.
Built-in backups via restic on a systemd timer, audit log, login lockout, CSRF, and an admin panel that exposes every runtime setting.
Browser only for users: no LaTeX install on every laptop, works on any OS.
