The docker-weasyprint project bundles Weasyprint into an easy to use, OpenShift compatible, HTML to PDF/PNG microservice with a simple REST interface.
Pre-built images can be found here; bcgovimages/weasyprint
docker pull bcgovimages/weasyprint
Run the docker image, exposing port 5001
docker run -p 5001:5001 bcgovimages/weasyprint
A POST to /pdf on port 5001 with an html body will result in a response containing a PDF. The filename may be set using a query parameter, e.g.:
curl -v -X POST -d @test.html -JLO http://127.0.0.1:5001/pdf?filename=result.pdf
This example will use the file test.html and return a response with Content-Type: application/pdf and Content-Disposition: inline; filename=result.pdf headers. The body of the response will be the PDF rendering of the html document. To generate a png, make a call to /png instead
In addition /health is a health check endpoint and a GET returns 'ok'.
