DocBleach allows you to sanitize your Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, ... documents. This repository contains the DocBleach Web API, packaged as a docker service. Two clicks and you'll feel safer.
You have files to sanitize but you can't install Java, may it be because you run on an embedded system or you deploy your PHP app on a shared hosting and Java is not available ... This package is the solution to your issues!
Three modules are present in this repository:
- api contains the Web API, a lightweight Python Flask app that receives the files and responds to status requests.
- worker contains DocBleach and launches it using Python Celery.
- autoscale auto-scaling for Mesos Marathon, documentation still has to be written.
Thanks to Docker, you are able to easily deploy this app.
Celery requires a message broker and a backend to store its results. Using something as easy to setup as Redis is fine, as it is able to serve both roles, but you may use another broker or another backend storage.
Configuration is given to each component thru environment variables,
namely CELERY_BROKER and CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND. They accept URI as
valid values, for instance to use a local Redis server protected by the
password PASS123 you would use this:
CELERY_BROKER=redis://:PASS123@127.0.0.1/.
In order to pass the files from the API to the Worker, a storage backend is required.
Plik is used, because it is easy to setup (unlike OpenStack/AWS), Open-Source and supports expire out of the box.
By default using Docker Compose, an internal Plik instance is started and the sanitized files are stored on plik.root.gg
You may change this using the INTERNAL_PLIK_SERVER and FINAL_PLIK_SERVER env variables.
To run the containers using Docker Compose, just call docker-compose up -d in this project's directory.
Docker will take care of the boring stuff for you! :)

You've developed a new cool feature ? Fixed an annoying bug ? We'd be happy to hear from you !
Documentation uses Swagger, and thus is rendered client-side using the specifications in
api/static/swagger.yaml.
to start sanitizing your file, click on the "pick a file" button
then choose the file you want to sanitize

This project works, but would be greatly improved with little tweaks.
For instance, it would be really great to:
- Write more documentation, because there's never enough of it. :-(
- Have an improved design.
- Improve the API once the code base is rewamped, to give an extended output, allow configuration...
- Remove dependencies, having Java and Python code in a docker file is a bad practice. For now, it works.
