docker-weasyprint

This is a very simple Dockerfile based on Alpine Linux. It creates a very small (105MB+) weasyprint service. It uses a wsgi server by aquavitae to provide weasyprint as a web service.

To use, POST some HTML to localhost:5001/pdf. The response will be a rendered pdf file.

Deploy

Open Powershell and clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/sitn/docker-weasyprint.git
cd docker-weasyprint

Choose your production docker context: replace <USER> and <SERVER_ADDRESS> with your server address:

$env:DOCKER_HOST="ssh://<USER>@<SERVER_ADDRESS>.ne.ch"

Then down and up the service:

docker compose down
docker compose up -d

Finally, reset your docker host back to normal:

$env:DOCKER_HOST=""

Health Checks

A GET to localhost:5001/health should result in an ok response.

A GET to localhost:5001/version should output the weasyprint version (currently 0.39).

Fonts

In order to make fonts available to weasyprint, simply copy them into ./fonts and build the image.
