Thanks to @qweargs123 for sharing this that isn't showing up for some reason: put this in your compose under environment to enable Login: DOCKER_ENABLE_SECURITY: true SECURITY_ENABLELOGIN: true SECURITY_INITIALLOGIN_USERNAME: SECURITY_INITIALLOGIN_PASSWORD: This will be the default admin, you can then even add more users using the settings. Thanks to: Mariushosting 😀

you should make a "must have" docker container video. Ones you can't live without. No need to show setup for every one just show what they are and how they work. Just an idea.

@DBTechYT 9 ай бұрын

I really like this idea

@Trains-With-Shane 9 ай бұрын

This seems like a pretty good option for somebody that doesn't want to use potentially sketchy malware infested websites to do PDF work. As an aside I have had to manually add a few restart always statements in my docker compose files as well. I think i'll spin up an instance of Stirling PDF tonight when I get home.

thank you for the video, didn't realize such self-hosted PDF editing is even possible, it really brings freedom to platform-independent work (Win, Mac, Linux, tablets...) I wonder what other editors are working well selfhosted? how about something like miniPain for images? but anything for audio or even video? cheers

install it today on my homeserver, like it, i only use 4 things for the moment (pdf merge, image to pdf, compress and rotate) i never use online service like that with my private document my printer have a software like that but since the printer doest work anymore and we cant merge file that arent scan by the printer i was searching an selfhosted "pdf merger" it's like every time i want to install something, you have an video on it thx

Alright so a little while back you made a video on upgrading your internal harddrive for your chrome book, if I were to do this would i love any prior date on my chromebook? my version of chromebook has the googleplay store, so hypothetically would I lose any data like setting, apps installed, etc. Im wanting to basically increase storage without changing any of my data

If I have to change the port. Do I need to change only the first 8080, or also after the : For example: default is 8080:8080, I need to change it to an other port: 9090:8080, or is 9090:9090 correct? And what is the right volumes? Where can I check?

Your ports will look like: port: 9090:8080 Your volumes will be wherever your system stores files.

I didn't see any "search" option, I have been looking for a way to index and quickly search for content across thousands of PDF files in different formats, some with ORC enbedded and some without. I am still looking for something that can injest the entire folder of PDF and provide a web based search tool.

Could stirling-pdf merge multiple word documents to a single pdf file?

@YammyBoh7 9 ай бұрын

I think it can but if not, you can convert each to pdf and then use the merge or multi tool to combine them all, it sounds like a bunch of extra steps but I've done it and it's really quick and easy.

@@DBTechYT Maybe, I've used free software to "print" things to pdf for years. I believe it's actually part of Windows now. Recently MS paint is getting a save to pdf feature as well. I suspect I just don't use PDF enough to understand the appeal. Perhaps what I need to do is try this image for myself or maybe this is just something that makes more sense when used with a group. I appreciate your response. Thanks, this will be a potential tool in my bag for the future.

Fun fact, lorem ipsum is not completely nonsense words, it's a mangled latin text. The original sentence said "neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit" meaning something like "there's nobody who likes pain, because it hurts" and it's from like a philosophy disertation on how people usually avoid things that hurt and flock towards things that are pleasurable. Really laying the ground with basic stuff there Also y'all can put in your fetish jokes now, this is your chance

Thanks for the video but i personally don't think this is much useful utility as these can be done using a MSword or similar Libre office tool. BTW can you please make a video about Podman and how can we use podman compose as a drop-in replacement.

I didn't know MSx and LibreX could merge, split, remove, combine, etc PDF pages. Yeah, this software is AMAZING and free!

@YammyBoh7 9 ай бұрын

Yeah I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. This can do WAY more than simple office tools. Also much lighter weight so if you have multiple documents or multiple users you can get everything done super fast with minimal processing overhead.
