Command pdfsvc is a small wrapper around WeasyPrint command to expose it as a http service.

Service accepts POST requests expecting html bodies and proper Content-Type: text/html header. If html is not utf8, either set proper encoding in Content-Type header or directly in html. If html is successfully converted, reply would have code 200 OK and Content-Type: application/pdf, the body would be a pdf document.

If pdfsvc is started with TOKEN environment variable or -token=value flag, only requests having Authorization: Bearer token header are allowed.

You can build ready-to-use docker image using Dockerfile from this repository (Docker 17.05 or later is required):

docker build -t pdfsvc:latest .

Then run it:

docker run -p 8080:8080 --rm pdfsvc

You can use ADDR environment variable to change address service listens at and TOKEN to enable request authentication.

Example of calling service listening on localhost:8080 with curl:

curl -sD- -o output.pdf -T input.html \
	-X POST -H "Content-Type: text/html" http://localhost:8080/
