Biorix OP ,

Interesting! I’ll take a look Although, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to implement it in my company. Thanks!

Biorix OP ,

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

Biorix OP ,

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

Biorix OP ,

Yes, it does have the same option that libreoffice. But this solution would not be better than what I have currently

Biorix OP ,

Sorry, my comments and edits seem to fail every time

Biorix OP ,

Thanks! This look interesting. I can’t find the document generation though

Biorix OP ,

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.

Biorix OP ,

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.

Biorix OP ,

Oh wow that looks great! I didn’t know about n8n

Biorix OP ,

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

Biorix OP ,

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)

Biorix OP ,

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 :


<span style="color:#323232;">{% for job in jobs %}
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   {% if job.style == 1 %}
</span><span style="color:#323232;">       {{ job.name }} |  {{ job.date}} | ...
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   {% else %}
</span><span style="color:#323232;">       - {{ job.name }}
</span><span style="color:#323232;">       - {{ job.date}}
</span><span style="color:#323232;">       - ...
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    {% endif %}
</span><span style="color:#323232;">{% endfor %}
</span>

I don’t know .NET but you can probably call a Jinja tools

Also for the resume, you might be insterested in Rx Resume

Biorix OP , (edited )

Ha yes you’re right, thanks

I edited the post

fyi nothing changed before it broke

Biorix OP ,

Good idea, but there is just one container of each

Biorix OP ,

Yes I did

Restarted the container, docker, and the whole server.

Same issue

Biorix OP ,

Good point, I’ll try

Biorix OP ,

I was assuming that it was the container since it’s running. The app itself doesn’t work, but the container starts normally.

Biorix OP ,

I’ve tried it and it the same issue

Biorix OP ,

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

Biorix OP ,

When the container is down, the port is not listed in the netstats

Biorix OP ,

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

Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them? (gadgettendency.com)

With support ending for Windows 10, the most popular desktop operating system in the world currently, possibly 240 million pcs may be sent to the landfill. This is mostly due to Windows 11’s exorbitant requirements. This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses. GNU/Linux may be...

I still see XP pcs in the wild sometimes

Using sustainable aviation fuels could reduce emissions by up to 80%, scientists find (www.manchester.ac.uk)

Using sustainable aviation fuels could reduce emissions by up to 80%, scientists find::A team of scientists have completed tests to quantify the emissions from the combustion of sustainable aviation fuels, revealing a profound reduction when compared to regular jet fuel.Researchers from the National Centre for Atmospheric...

Biorix ,

Even if this was true, that wouldn’t lead to less emissions but just more flights.

As we can see, every time the efficiency increases, the flight price drops, and the number of flights increases. So, it just allows us to fly more for the same amount of C02.

Biorix ,

I would add that it’s the inefficiency of software that drives our phones to the bin.

The applications often relies on non optimized libraries, or are an aggregation of more and more of features and options that then requires the latest phone in order to work.

10 years should not have to watch porn. The problem is that it is often the only “sex education” they’ll have. But it’s a terrible example of sexual life.

Sex Ed should be about pleasure, sane sex life, type of relation, etc. As well as the usual risks and disease presented, so teenagers can understand the difference between performance and reality
