In order to leverage the document preview generation, it is necessary to deploy a separate Docker service. This service uses a Linux container, Python and Libre Office to convert given documents to PDFs.

The service definition is shipped as part of the Connector Package and can be found in the folder conversion.

Deployment

Copy the folder ./conversion to a server which runs Docker

Then, at the server do the following

cd ./conversion
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d

Afterwards the service is up and running. It restart automatically, when needed.
