Good Morning!
Does anyone have any good recommendations for HTML to PDF utility for running on Debian (Trixie)?
This one: https://wkhtmltopdf.org/, is no longer active.
That's what I would have suggested. Didn't know it had become inactive:confused:
And... morning! The forecast is warming us of "snowmageddon" - 7-12" on Sunday. But at least we should be some way north of the ice storms...đŹ
@dharrigan - Is this to run headless and programatically or for your desktop / workstation setup?
headless, within a container, for generating PDFs from Hiccup (to HTML)
I'm currently using wkhtmltopdf, but looking around for similar supported tech
OK, I will go back and look at my notes, but to be transparent I have not had to solve this problem for a while, so I am going to assume that I am behind the curve. I am curious to see if anyone else who is more current comes up with interesting solutions / tech and even if not I am curious to see what you end up on, as this is something that comes around again and again in my life... đ
I have nothing more current than wkhtmltopdf to offer... I had a little Google sess; have you seen this:
https://apitemplate.io/blog/html-to-pdf-on-linux-best-commands-and-tools/
ignore the cloud service that they are selling, and just focus on the using Chromium in headless mode on the command line..?
I think that this is what I would do, FWIW, but clearly YMMV
There may be mileage in using Weasyprint, possibly via a Clojure / Python bridge...? if you don't want to use Python (could relate)
Thanks, will have a looksee đ
Morning All đ´ó §ó ˘ó łó Łó ´ó ż
In case anyone here is not in the #events channel...
As another experiment I'm trying out, I'm deploying customised JREs, built from running jdeps and jlink over the generated uberjars.
So far, seems okay đ
Oh, and another thing I'm doing atm is writing "modern" java, with all those vars, streaming and records đ
to try writing a little internal stress tester for websockets đ
@dharrigan Is your employer a Java shop then? Or is this "just for fun"?
Just for fun. I wanted to challenge myself to write modern java, given that it's been years since I wrote any java
Modern Java isn't bad. It's a huge improvement over legacy Java.
Totally agree, it's actually quite terse!
I used to code in Kotlin before Clojure, so it was interesting to see how Java has moved on
Ah, I quite like Kotlin but never did much more than learning the basics... and write this: https://github.com/seancorfield/boot-kotlinc
Hahaha... last update 2017-11-28... over eight years ago!
đ
I wrote this too: https://github.com/dharrigan/cotlin
haven't visited it in 5 years, no idea if it still works or not
(probably safe on the clojure side, not so sure about the kotlin side)
Yup:

Hello Clojure World! 25.0.1
Hello Kotlin World! 25.0.1
Good Boy Biscuit
Woof Woof!
HOW MUCH IS THAT DOGGY IN THE WINDOW?
nil(I added a println of java.version since initially it failed to build with JDK 26 EA)
w00t đ
We can check again in another 5 years đ
