  • HRConvert2 Docker Fails To Convert To PDF

    There's an open issue on the main HRConvert2 Github, but there doesn't seem to be much traffic in the repo at all. Has anyone run into this issue or know how to fix it?

    I noted some more information in the other post but additonally - regarding your questions: I tried to install HRConvert2 (repo: https://github.com/zelon88/HRConvert2) using the provided docker-compose.yml from https://github.com/dwaaan/HRConvert2-Docker and following the instructions which where mentioned there. The logs don't say anything helpful (or anything at all, actually)...

    Sounds good, but it doesn't really include the capability of converting anything by default. You have to install lots of dependencies manually and go through a very lengthy installation guide: https://github.com/zelon88/HRConvert2/blob/master/Documentation/INSTALLATION_INSTRUCTIONS.txt

    > Firstly, employees need to be aware that they are not allowed to use this software and you need to therefore provide a solution.

    As far as I understand, the usage of such tools is caused by the need to accomplish some goal that they don't know how to otherwise do. Therefore, wouldn't it be a good idea to self-host such a tool, even if it's not a part of any pre-existing platform that's in use for other business processes?

    For example, for various data format related concerns, I've seen CyberChef be pretty good: https://github.com/gchq/CyberChef

    As for some binary file format conversations, HRConvert2 seems viable: https://github.com/zelon88/HRConvert2

    If self-hosting things is too much of a bother/risk, then I guess all that's left is local tools, such as Handbrake on Windows for video: https://handbrake.fr/ and maybe something like XnView for images: https://www.xnview.com/en/ and so on...

    But then there's the risks of self-hosted or local software containing something malicious and needing to be audited etc. I recall that in my previous org, I helped develop a Wiki page listing many of the tools available within the company internally, so that anyone who needs to store files could immediately look at self-hosted Nextcloud (for example), as opposed to going for Dropbox or whatever. Of course, instructions alone probably aren't enough, restrictions are also necessary, but discoverability is always good!

    The only solution I know is https://github.com/zelon88/HRConvert2 In my experience, it works okay, not well but okay. But only tried it for a few minutes.
