Thanks again, your instructions work perfectly in Docker. Unfortunately,
for some reason iSH raises an error when trying to import that Docker
image: iSH is finnicky about filesystems, apparently—this is noted in
their wiki:
https://github.com/ish-app/ish/wiki/Install-&-Activate-Alternate-Filesystems
Besides, I have found some inconsistencies between texmf.cnf and
texmfcnf.lua in the TeX Live distribution that can be installed through
apk: for instance, one file used ~/.texlive2019 and the other
~/.texlive2020. There may be other issues, but I am not expert enough.
For now, I have given up. I have some hope with another iOS/iPadOS app,
a-Shell (https://github.com/holzschu/a-shell), which is what I currently
use to typeset LaTeX documents. It allows you to install TeX Live, but
for some reason it comes without ConTeXt (it has LuaTeX, though). There
is an open request for adding ConTeXt
(https://github.com/holzschu/a-shell/issues/208).
