Voucher Download Joint PDF #70

Doesn't work (error message).

gitsimon commented 7 years ago

Yes I broke this with knowing it. The chain of problems was:

  1. alpine Linux versions as basis for docker docker containers was required to make image size smaller on server since space kind of limited

  2. the django plugin (cairo) that we used to generate and join PDFs required some stuff to be installed on machine, which failed on Alpine Linux (see commit)

  3. Therefore, at the moment only SVG generation works, this has to be converted/joined on some other machine.

I think it should be generally possible to run cairo on alpine linux but it might require some troubleshooting.

Another possibility is to use a python only solution: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/howto/outputting-pdf/
