Using wkhtmltopdf on fly.io

#1

Hello, I’m creating a web site that needs to generate PDF files. I decided to use wkhtmltopdf (through pdf-generator library). When trying to deploy my application to fly.io I’m getting an error because it needs the wkhtmltopdf executable. Any way of doing this? is it even possible?
Thanks.

What kind of app are you running? You should be able to add wkhtmltopdf to your app image. If you’re using a Dockerfile it might even be easy.

Thanks Kurt, your response pointed me to the right direction and I got it working now.

The app is an internal invoice system for my company.

Thanks again for your help. Fly.io is indeed great.
