Yes, that why I recommand jinja. as it can be used in OpenXML as well as latex or anything in plain text.
Let's say you want to place a table that corresponds to a certain pattern, you could add it to your file conditionally. In your Word document, you could add that :
{% for job in jobs %}
{% if job.style == 1 %}
{{ job.name }} | {{ job.date}} | ...
{% else %}
- {{ job.name }}
- {{ job.date}}
- ...
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
I don't know .NET but you can probably call a Jinja tools
Also for the resume, you might be insterested in Rx Resume
I'm using docxtpl which uses jinja placeholder to set values.
For your solution, you should use jinja It's used for whatever text files you want, htlm, txt, latex, MD, etc. And you can put code into the document (see my examples document in the post)
It used to be integromat. You can look it up more easily, haha
I almost succeeded with it, but to integrate multiple entries in one document, it was too complicated.
So, I'm modifying the code I originally made to make API calls to Airtable, and I assemble the doc with docxtpl
I started by creating an API on my already functioning flask app, so everything can be done through Airtable page. But I was worried about opening an API to the world, so I decided to make a local python app that I'll probably compile to .exe
And yes, I can open source, but it's really tailored to me needs
I'm not sure they could ban it altogether
They can make it difficult, though
The court ruled that emulation is perfectly legal (as long as you have purchased the original)

Nice!
Secretary looks exactly like Docxtemplate, which I used on my homemade webpage. Maybe it's a fork.
It never was really user friendly so I am looking to replace it. That is also the main issue with your self build solution? Or are there other issues as well?
Yes exactly. I need people to be able to use the tools easily and reliably and to be able to add templates themselves.
Also, my main job is not developing tools and I can only do it on my spare time, so the fastest it is to implement the better.
After a week to try, Airtable + Make seems to be the easiest. Airtable also offers to generate documents directly in it, but it lacks options.
My main issue with a lot of tool (except Docxtemplate or similar) is to renders array of data. Most solution replace a {{tag}} with an info, but what I would need is a {{array[i]}} and to be able to generate different paragraphs.
Ha that looks like something I can use!
I think that Airtable + Make is still easier to use with less code, so my colleagues might prefer it over your solution
But I definitely keep that in mind. I have another tool where that might be useful.
Thanks! This look interesting. I can't find the document generation though
Yes, it does have the same option that libreoffice. But this solution would not be better than what I have currently
It is, but the main issue is how to select the values from the database and to render without the user needing to tweak anything
Latex, MD, Word is equivalent (although Word is preferred) since I'll just place universal markers in it
Thank you !
It's pretty much the solution I already have: I generate a doc with DocxTemplate through a webpage made with Flask.
What I'm looking for is a solution with a user-friendly pipeline that can be easily used by anyone once it's set up
Form > generate new entry in a db
Entry > Select entry from tags > generate documents from template
Airtable is already proposing something similar, which is why I'm currently trying it with zapier, Documint, and other automation solutions
I'm looking for a self host solution but mostly a free and polished one
Interesting! I'll take a look Although, I'm not sure if I'll be able to implement it in my company. Thanks!
I'm looking for a solution to generate document (ideally docx but pdf is ok) from a database
Ex: I have a project entry (with client info, dates, information about the project, etc.) and I want to generate documents from a tender templates, containing selected entries from the database.
Here is what I tried until now :
- Custom database (tinyDB) + custom webpage form + a docx template with jinja markups served by a homemade webpage hosted on pythonanywhere (lot of work and not reliable as I'm doing everything myself)
- Nocodb form and database (no document generation yet) (self-hosted or on cloud)
- Airtable (closed source and on cloud) for forms, database and document generation
Airtable is what I'm currently trying because it's the only one that I found that have lot of support and adds on.
There are a few options on Airtable for document generation, lot of which cost around $30/month which is why I'm looking for a viable alternative. Ideally I would like to be able to upload my already made templates.
More point to the solution if it's supports geodata
I'm considering keeping airtable and using the api to generate document with the python program I used on the first point, but I'd like to know if there is more options.
EDIT2: to be concise: I'm looking for an alternative to Airtable + Make. Ideally, FOSS and self-hostable or on cloud
Edit: precision: I need to create a document that contains multiple items of the db. Ex: I need to create a resume with different experiences that are saved in the database
Here is an example of a template:
Thank you
The issue was actually that the container somehow didn't have access to its directory anymore. No idea why or how to correct it.
I just created another config directory and use the backup to set everything
So it's working again, but I have no idea how it got stuck
When the container is down, the port is not listed in the netstats
Yes Sonarr is not working but I have a container It worked fine for the last month and it just stopped working maybe a week ago
I've tried it and it the same issue
I was assuming that it was the container since it's running. The app itself doesn't work, but the container starts normally.
Yes I did
Restarted the container, docker, and the whole server.
Same issue
Recently, Radarr and Sonarr stopped working, and I don't know why or where to look.
Host: Kubuntu 22.04
Kernel: 3.2.0-39-generic (64 bits)
Docker: 24.0.5, build 24.0.5-0ubuntu1~22.04.1
Image: linuxserver/sonarr 3.0.10.1567 and linuxserver/radarr 5.2.6.
Every other app, including other servarr app (readarr, lidarr, etc.) is working
Apps is giving me the following message:
[Info] Bootstrap: Starting Sonarr - /app/sonarr/bin/Sonarr.exe - Version 3.0.10.1567 [Info] AppFolderInfo: Data directory is being overridden to [/config] [Info] Router: Application mode: Interactive [Info] MigrationLogger: *** Checking database for required migrations data source=/config/sonarr.db;cache size=-10000;datetimekind=Utc;journal mode=Wal;pooling=True;version=3 *** [Info] MigrationLogger: *** Checking database for required migrations data source=/config/logs.db;cache size=-10000;datetimekind=Utc;journal mode=Wal;pooling=True;version=3 *** [Info] OwinHostController: Listening on the following URLs: [Info] OwinHostController: http://192.168.1.100:8989/ [Info] OwinHostController: http://localhost:8989/ [Info] SonarrBootstrapper: Starting Web Server [Fatal] ConsoleApp: The requested address is not valid in this context. This can happen if another instance of Sonarr is already running another application is using the same port (default: 8989) or the user has insufficient permissions Press enter to exit...
I checked, and nothing seems to use the same port:
~$ sudo netstat -nlp | grep 8989 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8989 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 48005/docker-proxy tcp6 0 0 :::8989 :::* LISTEN 48011/docker-proxy
And I don't think permission is at fault since other docker apps works fine.
Where should I look to fix that?
Edit: the compose file
version: '3.8' services: Sonarr: container_name: sonarr image: linuxserver/sonarr ports: - '8989:8989' # sonarr environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=Canada/Eastern volumes: - '/etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro' - '/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro' - '/bibliotheque1/configs/sonarr:/config' - '/bibliotheque1:/data' - '/bibliotheque2:/data2' restart: unless-stopped radarr: container_name: radarr image: linuxserver/radarr environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=Canada/Eastern ports: - '7878:7878' volumes: - '/etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro' - '/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro' - '/bibliotheque1/configs/radarr:/config' - '/bibliotheque1:/data' - '/bibliotheque2:/data2' restart: unless-stopped
edit2: added all the details of the logs
edit 3:
I don't think the issue is actually the port since I've got the same issue when I'm switching to a different port, and if I stop the container, its ports no longer appears in the netstats commands.
Might be permission issue (but no idea what that would mean in its context) or something else.
Edit 4 and kinda solution
It IS a permission issue, although I'm not getting why it's happening
If the config file is in another volume, the container starts no problem. But if I try to starts with the old directory, it gave the error message.
volumes: - '/bibliotheque1/configs/radarr_test:/config'
But there is no difference in the owner of this repository
Why can't the container access it?

I'll use my backups and use a different directory, but I want to know what went wrong...
