Unoconv server settings

[geraldbigot]

I installed unoconv like explained in the gendoc documentation.
I tested it in command line on my server : it produces pdf export well
I put unoconv listening : unoconv --listener &
I put my convert_url in global variable

When I'm trying to export pdf from coreBOS it generated 0 ko pdf file.

What am I doing wrong ?

you installed unoconv in the server, not the docker container of unoconv.

I mean there are two ways of configuring unoconv, one is installing all the software directly in your server and the other is launching the unoconv docker container.

the global variable is for the docker container, not for the server install

unoconv has been deprecated, you must use unoserver and the global variable GenDoc_URL_UnoServer

we are using this docker container: https://github.com/lynxtaa/unoserver-web

I just tried to create this GV :  https://github.com/lynxtaa/unoserver-web as GenDoc_URL_UnoServer
but I obtained this error opening exported pdf :

"PDF document is damaged"

[joebordes]

you have to install the docker container as a service and set the global variable to the IP of the docker container

[joebordes]

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 lynxtaa/unoserver-web:latest

[geraldbigot]

I installed the docker container even I'm not sure. I never used docker before today.
How can I check unoserver is well installed and configured ?

try `docker ps` that should show you the process running

then you can try the command in the repo

curl \
--request POST 'http://localhost:3000/convert/pdf' \
--form 'file=@"/path/to/file.docx"' \
-o my.pdf

finally, try using that same URL `http://localhost:3000`

but when I click "Export PDF" in coreBOS :

"Le type de fichier document texte brut (text/plain) n’est pas pris en charge"

[joebordes]

what value does the global variable have?

[geraldbigot]

I tested with http://localhost:3000 and also http://myserverIP:3000
