Any problem with installing libreoffice?

Discuss
1

I’d like to use the ODT to PDF function that dolibarr includes, but it requires to install libreoffice on the server.

So i was wondering : could installing libreoffice with a dumb sudo apt install libreoffice pose any problem or conflict with yunohost ? I’m guessing not really, but better safe than stupid…

etherpad_mypads does something similar for the same purpose of converting to pdf : etherpad_mypads_ynh/manifest.toml at master · YunoHost-Apps/etherpad_mypads_ynh · GitHub

Maybe try to install only libreoffice-writer if that’s enough for what you aim to do to limit the bloat on your machine

I’ll ask about that on the dolibarr forum (just to be sure) and hopefully they won’t answer the usual “read the wiki, buy a plugin or f*ck off” :innocent:
Thanks for the advice !

Damn…

Well it’s either this or learn php to be able to modify the orders and invoices templates in dolibarr. There are two ways dolibarr can output pdfs :

  • using the included php library FPDF with php templates written by a community that will definitely not help you modify them, so that requires to understand php more than i do
  • using .odt files to create templates used by dolibarr to generate orders and invoices and then have dolibarr feed the .odt into libreoffice to automatically output a pdf

The latter seems really more practical and affordable…
