unoconv-worker

A docker image containing a very simple REST service for document conversion using unoconv.

This is mostly intended as a worker for flux-templating but can be used independently.

The core issue that we try to solve is that libreoffice is not built to run document conversions in parallel (see related unoconv issue).

Our solution:

• Building worker containers that contain instances of libreoffice available to perform conversions.
• Exposing a simple streaming API that simulates concurrency but internally buffers the tasks if necessary.
