Hello Hamoid, thank you for your script. Is it possible to adapt with this website : https://bp.veeam.com/sp/ ?
I can't adapt the URL, could you send me an example?
Hi @Boris0791 ! I updated the script. It works with the following configuration:
filename="veeam-guide"
domain="bp.veeam.com"
path="/sp/" # /some/folder/ if the guide is not located at /
Hi @hamoid :-) perfect, thank you !
@hamoid, that works flawlessly, thank you!
It is also easy adapted for HTTP Basic Auth.
login="YOUR_LOGIN"
password="YOUR_PASSWORD"
# fething URLS
curl -s -u "$login:$password" # ....
# Fetching Content
wkhtmltopdf --username "$login" --password "$password" # ...
I'm happy to hear it worked well for you :-)
Thanks for the Auth tip! Great addition. No need to, but feel free to fork this gist and add Auth to it :-)
Cheers!
Currently I'm using a GitHub action and jensvog/ebook-convert-action to build a PDF like this:
https://github.com/openrndr/openrndr-guide/blob/main/.github/workflows/buildPDF.yml
Currently tied to guide.openrndr.org but can be adapted for other websites.
An example of the produced PDF can be downloaded from https://github.com/openrndr/openrndr-guide/blob/pdf/openrndr-guide.pdf
Not publishing quality, but probably train- or airplane-reading quality :-)
