I’m trying to generate PDFs from HTML using DinkToPdf library with docker, but i can’t get that showing the image from docker container running, while debugging from windows I have no problems:
I have added many libraries to my dockerfile that i have seen in others topics, but i have not been successful. My dockerfile is as follows:
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk:3.1 AS build
WORKDIR /src
COPY . .
WORKDIR /src/WebApi
RUN dotnet restore
RUN dotnet publish -c Release -o out
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/aspnet:3.1
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libgdiplus
ca-certificates
xvfb
libfontconfig
wkhtmltopdf
fontconfig
zlib1g
fontconfig
libfreetype6
libx11-6
libxext6
libxrender1
libjpeg62-turbo
libxcb1
xfonts-75dpi
xfonts-base
openssl
wget
gdebi
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=build /src/WebApi/out ./
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "WebApi.dll"]
Any idea what library I need to add to the dockerfile to show the images?
PS: My html code:
<table class='tbl' cellpadding='5'>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class='tbl-img'>
<img src='https://pngimg.com/uploads/batman/batman_PNG75.png' alt='' height='51' width='200' />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class='tbl-title'>THIS IS THE TITLE OF THE DOCUMENT</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class='tbl-subtitle'>THIS IS THE SUBTITLE OF THE DOCUMENT</td>
</tr>
</tbody>

The solution for this issue was added on github: github.com/rdvojmoc/DinkToPdf/issues/159
The solution as specified in not the solution, at all. I tried with base64 string of the image and dinktopdf is showing the image well locally but on deployment to linux server, the image is not shown.
