Help - Trying to install Libre office on server but unfamiliar with docker
I am building a feature to extract text from .ppt files in my application. I am using libreoffice-convert to do this, however, I need the actual libre office application installed on the server for it to work. Is it possible to ssh into the server and do a sudo apt install?

So I can just add this nixpacks.toml file to the root directory and that does it?
yep!
Thanks Brody, I would try this out and give feedback

So after trying this, the application build. For some reason, I still get an error when trying to use the package which says: Could not find soffice binary

But to no avail. Any ideas?
Please, I need a response
@Brody @Adam Please, I need help with this. It is pretty urgent
I’m sorry, but it is the weekend. This channel is primarily for community help, if someone has time they will help, but there is no guarantee
Might be best to write yourself up a Dockerfile instead of relying on nix packages

Maybe you need to use convertWithOptions when using libreoffice-convert. In convertWithOptions, you can specify the path of the binary file. But there is a problem. After I installed libreoffice, I can't find the specific path. I haven't found a way to enter the container and execute which libreoffice.You're seeing this because this thread has been automatically linked to the Help Station thread.
