Problem with libreoffice

[rrodrigofranco]

I am using the php:7.4-fpm-alpine image, but when I try to install LibreOffice with the following command:

RUN apk add libreoffice \
          openjdk11-jre \
          xvfb \
          xorg-server \
          fontconfig \
          ttf-dejavu \
          ttf-droid \
          ttf-freefont \
          ttf-liberation \
          ttf-opensans \
          && rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*

and then attempt to convert a DOC or DOCX file to PDF, I encounter the following error:

/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin X11 error: Can't open display: 
  Set DISPLAY environment variable, use -display option
  or check permissions of your X-Server
  (See "man X" resp. "man xhost" for details)

The command I used is:
libreoffice --headless --convert-to pdf processo-administrativo-notificacao-08-07-2024-09-56-48.docx

Can someone help me resolve this issue?

I'm sorry, but I'm failing to understand what this has to do with the php image other than that you're using it as a base? The libreoffice package you're installing comes from Alpine, not from us, so there's not really much we can do/change to help you here. 😅

The problem is not with the image but with how the container is created/runs. The package expects a window system (X11) which needs to be defined when the container is created. I would recommend posting this question to the Docker Community Slack https://join.slack.com/t/dockercommunity/shared_invite/zt-2m79lx4uf-fHufHr6GO4ZBM5oqUHhIbg
