odt_to_pdf 1.0.4

Celery task to generate a PDF from a LibreOffice document (mostly ODT).

odt_to_pdf

A Celery shared task to transform an odt file (or its UTF8-decoded representation) to PDF

Installation

pip install odt_to_pdf

Usage

Creating task

See examples/consumer/main.py

Worker

The package works with a Celery worker which can be run directly celery -A worker worker -Q odt_to_pdf -l INFO

However this requires libreoffice to be installed.

It is therefore advisable to run the worker in Docker using this image: techspaceasia/odt_to_pdf:1.0.0

The worker needs to be run in an environment which has access to

• the Celery broker
• the Celery result backend
• The libreoffice executable

Development

0. Create a network which will be accessible to both the worker and the task setter e.g.: docker network create odt_to_pdf_network
1. Run redis in that network .g. docker run --rm --name redis --network odt_to_pdf_network redis:7.0.4
2. Build the docker image: docker build -f docker/Dockerfile -t odt_to_pdf_worker:latest .
3. Run the worker in the same network, optionally mounting the code into it docker run -v $PWD:/code --network odt_to_pdf_network odt_to_pdf_worker:latest watchmedo auto-restart --directory=./odttopdf --pattern="*.py" --recursive -- celery -A worker worker -Q odttopdf -l INFO
4. Create tasks from any other container which has access to the same network (you may reuse the worker image e.g. docker run --rm --network odt_to_pdf_network -v $PWD:/code odt_to_pdf_worker:latest python examples/consumer/main.py)

pip install watchdog
export CELERY_CONFIG_MODULE=celeryconfig_local
watchmedo auto-restart --directory=./odttopdf --pattern="*.py" --recursive -- celery -A worker worker -Q odttopdf -l INFO
