Hosting on Mac

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 Mac.
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 line interface and pull the latest IronSecureDoc image from Docker Hub:

# Pull the latest IronSecureDoc image
docker pull ironsoftwareofficial/ironsecuredoc:latest

# Pull the latest IronSecureDoc image
docker pull ironsoftwareofficial/ironsecuredoc:latest

3. Run the Container Without Certificate

Run the Docker container with the necessary environment variables:

# Run the Docker container with environment variables
docker container run --rm -p 8080:8080 \
  -e IronSecureDoc_LicenseKey=<IRONSECUREDOC_LICENSE_KEY> \
  -e ENVIRONMENT=Development \
  -e HTTP_PORTS=8080 \
  ironsoftwareofficial/ironsecuredoc:latest

# Run the Docker container with environment variables
docker container run --rm -p 8080:8080 \
  -e IronSecureDoc_LicenseKey=<IRONSECUREDOC_LICENSE_KEY> \
  -e ENVIRONMENT=Development \
  -e HTTP_PORTS=8080 \
  ironsoftwareofficial/ironsecuredoc:latest

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

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

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:

   # Generate and trust HTTPS development certificate
   dotnet dev-certs https -ep $HOME/.aspnet/https/ironsecuredoc.pfx -p <CREDENTIAL_PLACEHOLDER>
   dotnet dev-certs https --trust

   # Generate and trust HTTPS development certificate
   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:

   # Run the container with HTTPS support
   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

   # Run the container with HTTPS support
   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
   TippsReplace <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_or_name>

  docker stop <container_id_or_name>

  SHELL

• Start the container:

  docker start <container_id_or_name>

  docker start <container_id_or_name>

  SHELL

• Remove the container:

  docker rm -f <container_id_or_name>

  docker rm -f <container_id_or_name>

  SHELL

Redact Text

# Redact specific words in a PDF document
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'

# Redact specific words in a PDF document
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'

Replace /path/to/your/document.pdf with the actual path to the document you want to redact and sensitiveWord with the word you want to redact.

Redact Regular Expression

# Redact text based on a regular expression in a PDF document
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:8080/v1/document-services/pdfs/redact-regular-expression' \
  -H 'accept: */*' \
  -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
  -F 'pdf_file=@/path/to/your/document.pdf;type=application/pdf' \
  -F 'regular_expression="[0-9]"' \
  -F 'draw_black_box=true'

# Redact text based on a regular expression in a PDF document
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:8080/v1/document-services/pdfs/redact-regular-expression' \
  -H 'accept: */*' \
  -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
  -F 'pdf_file=@/path/to/your/document.pdf;type=application/pdf' \
  -F 'regular_expression="[0-9]"' \
  -F 'draw_black_box=true'

Replace /path/to/your/document.pdf with the actual path to the document you want to redact and [0-9] with the regular expression you want to match and redact.
