Gotenberg integration in Odoo
##Gotenberg is a Docker-powered stateless API for PDF files.
In other words:
- It's a Docker image containing all the required dependencies; no need to install them on each environment.
- It scales smoothly and works nicely in a distributed context.
- It provides multipart/form-data endpoints for converting documents to PDF files, transforming them, merging them, and more!
- It has HTTP/2 support (H2C).
Gotenberg provides a developer-friendly API to interact with powerful tools like Chromium and LibreOffice to convert many documents (HTML, Markdown, Word, Excel, etc.) to PDF, transform them, merge them, and more!
Quick Start
Open a terminal and run the following command:
docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 gotenberg/gotenberg:6
or
docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 thecodingmachine/gotenberg:6
The API is now available on your host at http://localhost:3000.
Head to the documentation to learn how to interact with it 🚀
Configuration
For a service running in a docker, you need to add an environment variable GOTENBERG_SERVER
For a service running on a remote server, you need to specify the connection data in the settings.

Development and Testing
Requirements
There are a few things that we need for running the test suite.
- A database instance WITH demo data. So when you are creating a database from that database creation screen, make sure to mark to include demo data.
- Run odoo with the --test-enable flag
- Run odoo with the -d {my_database} flag
- Run odoo with the -i {modules_to_install} flag
- (optional) Sometimes it’s also nice to use --stop-after-init
Run The Tests
$ docker-compose stop
$ docker-compose run web \
--test-enable \
--stop-after-init \
-d test_db \
-i test_module
