Just installing the wkhtmltopdf did not help me. I followed this instructions and it helped me: https://stackoverflow.com/a/56971343/847670
@blaszczakphoto hi, after you have installed, did wkhtmltopdf
command available on OS? I have got this error because in my $PATH there wasn't /usr/bin
path
yes, it was available in the console. I could type wkhtmltopdf
and to the help instructions.
I can confirm this as of today.
I was using the gem for production environment in a ruby:2.5.3-alpine
Docker image and it would not work.
Left the gem for development and installed wkhtmltopdf
in the image and now it's working.
If using gem wicked_pdf
we need to specify the exe_path
where wkhtmltopdf
is now installed.
Anyone experiencing this issue with latest?
GEMFILE
gem 'wkhtmltopdf-binary', '~> 0.12.5'
INSTALL
gem install wkhtmltopdf-binary
also having issues, managed to get it to work following these instructions: https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/issues/3265#issuecomment-542653586
Assuming your gems are located in /bundle
, you could add after bundle install
:
RUN apk add wkhtmltopdf
RUN cd /bundle/ruby/*/gems/wkhtmltopdf-binary-*/bin && ln -s /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf wkhtmltopdf_"$(. /etc/os-release 2> /dev/null && echo ${ID}_${VERSION_ID})"_amd64
It's ugly but works like a charm
https://github.com/khalilgharbaoui/wkhtmltopdf-binary-edge-alpine for version 0.12.5 on alpine
@unixmonkey Maybe we can close this issue 🤝 The other gems/repos are good alternatives, as mentioned by guys🥇
On Alpine Linux 3.14.2 you don't need the wkhtmltopdf-binary
gem because it can be installed natively. I added the gem to the development group because I only need it on Mac OS X:
group :development, :test do
gem 'byebug', platforms: [:mri, :mingw, :x64_mingw]
gem 'rspec-rails'
gem 'wkhtmltopdf-binary', '~> 0.12.6.5'
end
On Alpine Linux 3.14.2 the wkhtmltopd can be added like this natively:
apk add wkhtmltopdf;
With that it's globally available.
Hi There, since Alpine 3.15 this library has now been removed from their package repository. Having this project now support alpine is more important than ever, since a lot of applications now run in alpine docker containers. Thank you!
That's very bad news :-( In the Alpine release notes they recommend to use weasyprint, an alternative to wkhtmltopdf. Does anybody has experience with it?

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try it now. The package wkhtmltopdf
was remove from Alpine starting from the version 3.15.
This works for me in alpine 3.18 without using the binary gem:
############################ wkhtmltopdf binary ###############################
FROM surnet/alpine-wkhtmltopdf:3.18.0-0.12.6-small as wkhtmltopdf
############################ COPY APPLICATION FILES ###############################
FROM ruby:3.2.2-alpine as production
ARG RAILS_ENV='production'
ENV RAILS_ENV=$RAILS_ENV
ENV RAKE_ENV=$RAILS_ENV
RUN apk add --update
fontconfig \
freetype \
libx11 \
ttf-dejavu \
libxrender
COPY --from=wkhtmltopdf /bin/wkhtmltopdf /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf
If someone else is having these issues and need to use the binary you use one of these solutions. @PedroAugustoRamalhoDuarte That's the way to go IMHO.

Yeah @PedroAugustoRamalhoDuarte, I mean that the wkhtmltopdf
package is no more present above Alpine 3.14. The solution that you suggest is also right for me: I got the binary from the same image repository.
I'm using docker image ruby:2.6.3-alpine and this gem didn't work. To work, you have to install by
apk add wkhtmltopdf
