IronSecureDoc on Docker

IronSecureDoc is a Docker container designed to give you powerful PDF manipulation behind a simple REST API, without the hassle and overhead of online SaaS services. This guide will walk you through the steps to host IronSecureDoc on your machine, including setting up environment variables and a basic example of using the REST API. For the full API, view our REST API Reference.

docker pull ironsoftwareofficial/ironsecuredoc:latest
docker pull ironsoftwareofficial/ironsecuredoc:latest
SHELL

Prerequisites

WarnungDocker Desktop on Linux runs a Virtual Machine (VM) which creates and uses a custom docker context, desktop-linux, on startup.

This means images and containers deployed on the Linux Docker Engine (before installation) are not available in Docker Desktop for Linux.

Platforms

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Install Docker Desktop

If you haven't already installed Docker Desktop, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Docker Desktop download page.
  2. Download the Docker Desktop installer for Linux.
  3. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.
  4. After installation, start Docker Desktop and make sure it's running.

2. Pull the "IronSecureDoc" Docker Image

Open a command prompt and pull the latest IronSecureDoc image from Docker Hub:

docker pull ironsoftwareofficial/ironsecuredoc:latest
docker pull ironsoftwareofficial/ironsecuredoc:latest
SHELL

3. Run the Container Without Certificate

Run the Docker container with the necessary environment variables:

Swagger UI in Browser
docker container run --rm -p 8080:8080 -e IronSecureDoc_LicenseKey=<IRONSECUREDOC_LICENSE_KEY> -e ENVIRONMENT=Development -e HTTP_PORTS=8080 ironsoftwareofficial/ironsecuredoc:latest
docker container run --rm -p 8080:8080 -e IronSecureDoc_LicenseKey=<IRONSECUREDOC_LICENSE_KEY> -e ENVIRONMENT=Development -e HTTP_PORTS=8080 ironsoftwareofficial/ironsecuredoc:latest
SHELL

Apply a Trial or License Key to Remove Watermarks

Tipps Replace <IRONSECUREDOC_LICENSE_KEY> with your actual IronSecureDoc license key. Otherwise, a watermark will be applied on Enterprise Features.

Swagger UI in Browser

4. Access the Container

Once the container is running, you can access IronSecureDoc by opening a web browser and navigating to:

http://localhost:8080/swagger/index.html
Swagger UI in Browser

You should see the IronSecureDoc interface, indicating that your container is running successfully.

5. Run the IronSecureDoc Container With Certificate

If you need to run the container with a certificate, follow these steps to generate the certificate and configure the local machine:

  1. Generate Certificate:

    dotnet dev-certs https -ep $HOME/.aspnet/https/ironsecuredoc.pfx -p <CREDENTIAL_PLACEHOLDER>
    dotnet dev-certs https --trust
    dotnet dev-certs https -ep $HOME/.aspnet/https/ironsecuredoc.pfx -p <CREDENTIAL_PLACEHOLDER>
    dotnet dev-certs https --trust
    SHELL

    Replace <CREDENTIAL_PLACEHOLDER> with a password.

  2. Run the Docker Container:

    docker container run -d -p 8081:8081 -p 8080:8080 \
    -e HTTP_PORTS=8080 -e HTTPS_PORTS=8081 \
    -e IronSecureDoc_LicenseKey=<IRONSECUREDOC_LICENSE_KEY> \
    -e ENVIRONMENT=Production \
    -v $HOME/.aspnet/https:/https:ro \
    -e CERTIFICATE_PATH=$HOME/.aspnet/https/ironsecuredoc.pfx \
    -e CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD=<CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD> \
    ironsoftwareofficial/ironsecuredoc:latest
    docker container run -d -p 8081:8081 -p 8080:8080 \
    -e HTTP_PORTS=8080 -e HTTPS_PORTS=8081 \
    -e IronSecureDoc_LicenseKey=<IRONSECUREDOC_LICENSE_KEY> \
    -e ENVIRONMENT=Production \
    -v $HOME/.aspnet/https:/https:ro \
    -e CERTIFICATE_PATH=$HOME/.aspnet/https/ironsecuredoc.pfx \
    -e CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD=<CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD> \
    ironsoftwareofficial/ironsecuredoc:latest
    SHELL

    Replace <IRONSECUREDOC_LICENSE_KEY> and <CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD> with your actual IronSecureDoc license key and certificate password, respectively.

6. Managing the Container

You can manage your running container using Docker commands. Here are a few useful commands:

  • Stop the container:

    docker stop <container_id>
    docker stop <container_id>
    SHELL
  • Start the container:

    docker start <container_id>
    docker start <container_id>
    SHELL
  • Remove the container:

    docker rm -f <container_id>
    docker rm -f <container_id>
    SHELL

Replace <container_id> with the actual container ID or name.

Environment Variables

The container can be configured using the following environment variables:

  • PDF_MAX_SIZE_MB (Default: 30): Sets the maximum allowed file size for PDF uploads in Megabytes.
  • REQUEST_TIMEOUT_SECONDS (Default: 5): Sets the timeout duration in seconds for API requests. A value of -1 allows requests to run indefinitely.
  • ALLOWED_ORIGINS: Configures Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) by specifying allowed origin URLs. Separate multiple URLs with commas. Use * or "all" to allow requests from any origin.
  • HTTP_PORTS: Defines the HTTP ports the container exposes. This should match the port mapping using the -p flag (e.g., 8080). Separate multiple ports with a semicolon (;).
  • HTTPS_PORTS: Defines the HTTPS ports the container exposes. This should match the port mapping using the -p flag (e.g., 8081). Separate multiple ports with a semicolon (;).
  • IronSecureDoc_LicenseKey (Required): Sets the IronSecureDoc license key. Important: Do not share this value publicly.

Basic Example: Redact Text in a Document

For the full list of API endpoints, refer to the full REST API Reference.

Redact Text

curl -X POST 'http://localhost:8080/v1/document-services/pdfs/redact-text' \
   -H 'accept: */*' \
   -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
   -F 'pdf_file=@/path/to/your/document.pdf;type=application/pdf' \
   -F 'words_to_redact="sensitiveWord"' \
   -F 'draw_black_box=true' \
   -F 'match_whole_word=true' \
   -F 'match_case=true'
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:8080/v1/document-services/pdfs/redact-text' \
   -H 'accept: */*' \
