How do i make use of nodejs instead of wkhtmtox?
OpenEMM 23.10 Installation & Administration Guide 1.0.2 recommends not to make use of wkhtmtox.
I install nodejs but openemm-runtime-23.10.000.150 still asks for WKHTML.
Basic webapplication configuration for WKHTML (wkhtmltopdf) is missing or invalid. Please configure.
Current menu: Configure basic environment (Java, Tomcat, Tomcat-Native, Wkhtml, Proxy)
What do i need to enter here, to install Tomcat-Native during Basic webapplication configuration?
Please choose entry to change (Blank => Back):
> Tomcat-Native
Please enter path for optional Tomcat-Native (Blank => Skip configuration of Tomcat-Native, 'Install' for installation):
> Install
Invalid path for Tomcat-Native

You do not have to install wkhtmltox.
To use OpenEMM with secure HTTPS connections, for Tomcat you should use the NIO Connector, because according to the Apache Foundation
the APR/Native HTTP Connector is deprecated and removed in Tomcat 10.1 and later.
See chapter 12 of the Install & Admin Guide for details.

Thanks,
i have the 23.04.000.222 release running with NIO Connector and certificates.
I wanted to get a clean install with 23.10.000.150 without SSL, but it still asks for WKHTML and i can´t get it running properly.
The installation of tomcat-native asks for a install path.
If i don´t install any WKHTML or any tomcat-native during the basic configuration, the openemm Status shows a missing Wkhtml file .
Where do i get this?
Tomcat-Native version: Undefined
Wkhtml file not available: None
OpenEMM Application is NOT running
If i use the same inital setup like a 23.04.000.222 release and i install tomcat-native-2.0.6 and wkhtmltox the runtime 23.10.000.150 will get me a working setup.
can you provide more information howto get rid of WKHTML?

Can you provide a screenshot of the question screen, asking for WKHMTL?
Because I rather think it is asking for a proper installation of JAVA and Apache Tomcat.

Hi,
during installation ...
I do not install wkhtmltox-0.12.6.1-3.el9.x86_64.rpm
I do not install tomcat-native-1.2.3 or 2.0.6
I unpack the runtime 23.10.000.150 and configure the dbms and create a database.
I start to configure the basic environment and set JAVA_HOME, CATALINA_Home is empty and installer asks to install tomcat.
I leave these empty
Code: Select all
Tomcat-Native: None
WKHTMLTOPDF: None
WKHTMLTOIMAGE: None
PROXY: None
Because the new admin guide recommends not use WKHTML and make use of nodejs instead.
after restarting the runtime with ./OMT.sh i get this
Code: Select all
=================================================
= OpenEMM Maintenance Tool (OMT) v23.10.000.150 =
=================================================
Root mode: On
Hostname: localhost.localdomain
Free diskspace: 88.2 % (of 27.14 GiB)
OpenEMM Runtime Version: 23.10.000.150
OpenEMM Version: Unknown
System-Url: Unknown
Database structure does not exist. (Maybe OpenEMM is not installed)
Basic webapplication configuration for WKHTML (wkhtmltopdf) is missing or invalid. Please configure.
Current menu: Configure basic environment (Java, Tomcat, Tomcat-Native, Wkhtml, Proxy)
Current webapp basic configuration:
JAVA_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-17.0.9.0.9-2.el9.x86_64
CATALINA_HOME: /home/openemm/opt/tomcat
Tomcat-Native: None
WKHTMLTOPDF: None
WKHTMLTOIMAGE: None
PROXY: None
Please choose entry to change (Blank => Back):
And OpenEMM status shows

If install tomcat-native and wkhtmltox all is fine ...
