environment variable to switch on/off engines

[tobwen]

Would it be possible to insert an environment variable to turn on/off LibreOffice or Chrome support? Sometimes, I don't need Chrome, so I want to save resources.

We could also provide a "slim" image which contains only the basics and then thanks to Docker multi-stage build:

ARGS ENABLE_CHROME=1
FROM thecodingmachine/gotenberg

// the previous arg will automatically trigger the installation of Chrome.

I'd really love that. Unfortunately, I probably can't help with the implementation.

I would maybe also like if the service processes can be configured to be started lazily and shut down the processes if they haven been used for a configurable duration.. I have a lot very low activity low resource staging environments where this would be very handy.

Great idea! 👍
