How to use it

Note	The docker can normally be replaced with podman as well.

In interactive mode

Just run:

docker run -it -v <your directory>:/data/ ghcr.io/unoconv/unoserver-docker

After you start the container, you can use unoconvert command to convert documents using LibreOffice.

or to convert directly using unoconvert:

docker run -it -v <your directory>:/data/ ghcr.io/unoconv/unoserver-docker unoconvert /data/document.docx /data/document.pdf

Docker maps your directory with /data directory in the container.

You might need to add the option :z or :Z like <your directory>:/data/:z or <your directory>:/data/:Z if you are using SELinux. See Docker docs or Podman docs.

In non-interactive (remote) mode

docker run -p 2003:2003 ghcr.io/unoconv/unoserver-docker

After you start the container, you can use unoconvert command to convert documents using LibreOffice.

Note	You must use --host-location otherwise unoconvert will default to local although running unoserver in a container should be handled as remote.

FAQ

1. Why do I get an error during when converting is writing/exporting to file?

2. It’s very likely that you haven’t given the container write permission to the mounted data directory. See: Issue #44
