Self-Hosted | v5

Hi.

When I go to heath check is says SnapPDF not enabled.

If I change .env from
PDF_GENERATOR=hosted_ninja to PDF_GENERATOR=snappdf

it will fail to generate pdfs.

What to do?

Thank you

Hi,

Which PDF rendered do you see listed above in the health check dialog?

There was a bug in the previous release which caused the ‘SnapPDF not enabled’ message to be shown even if it was enabled.

With .env setting PDF_GENERATOR=hosted_ninja

With .env setting PDF_GENERATOR=snappdf

Are there any errors in storage/logs?

The one that works for me is PDF_GENERATOR=hosted_ninja

snappdf will have a green check but fails to render PDFs.

What are benefits of using a snappdf over hosted_ninja?

If you use hosted_ninja the PDF is generated on our servers, if you use snappdf it’s generated on your server

Makes sense, yes.

Indeed I will go for snappdf. Will check logs a bit later.

Thank you

Maybe this will help:

Yes, that did the trick.

sudo apt install libnss3-dev libatk1.0-0 libatk-bridge2.0-0 libcups2 libgbm1 libpangocairo-1.0-0 libgtk-3-0

Thank you so much!!!
