PHP:
$pipes = [];
$command = 'docker run --rm -i chrome-print-pdf';
$descriptor_spec = [
0 => [ 'pipe', 'r' ],
1 => [ 'pipe', 'w' ],
2 => [ 'pipe', 'w' ],
];
$process = proc_open($command, $descriptor_spec, $pipes);
fwrite($pipes[0], file_get_contents('file.html'));
fclose($pipes[0]);
$output = stream_get_contents($pipes[1]);
$stderr = stream_get_contents($pipes[2]);
fclose($pipes[1]);
fclose($pipes[2]);
$return_value = proc_close($process);
file_put_contents('file.pdf', $output);
