Hi,
Howdy,
I would like to know if there exists roadmap that would allow to create
a server version of libreoffice that would execute macros job on office
docs. It would mean a version not using all the interface part of
libreoffice that would be much more compact. The goal would be to
process many files using remote services or on some files to automate
some processing such as creation of html files. Is there something
foreseen? Is it totally ridiculous? Has it been done and I do not find
the correct documentation?
First - redirecting the reply email to the User mailing list (the website
ML you originally posted to is for issues regarding the LibreOffice website
not the application).
Second - LibreOffice has always had the ability to run in what is referred
to as 'headless' mode. This means there is no GUI active while all the
document processing functions are available. The application even has
command line options specifically designed to take ODF files and generate
other fie types (html for instance) from them, in this non-GUI mode. This
feature is used as a backend for web applications today in production
environments. You can also call macros (sriptis) from the command line and
again if the macro is written properly can run just fine in this headless
mode.
Finally - I don't personally have a bunch of links for you with information
on setting that up but expect others on the users list will.
Best wishes,
Drew
Thanks in advance
Bruno

Opens the start center, if it is used without any arguments.
{file} Tries to open the file (files) in the components
suitable for them.
{file} {macro:///Library.Module.MacroName}
Opens the file and runs specified macros from
the file.

--version Shows the version and quits.
--nstemporarydirectory
(MacOS X sandbox only) Returns path of the temporary
directory for the current user and exits. Overrides
all other arguments.
General arguments:
--quickstart[=no] Activates[Deactivates] the Quickstarter service.
--nolockcheck Disables check for remote instances using one
installation.
--infilter={filter} Force an input filter type if possible. For example:
--infilter="Calc Office Open XML"
--infilter="Text (encoded):UTF8,LF,,,"
--pidfile={file} Store soffice.bin pid to {file}.
--display {display} Sets the DISPLAY environment variable on UNIX-like
platforms to the value {display} (only supported
by a
start script).
User/programmatic interface control:
--nologo Disables the splash screen at program start.
--minimized Starts minimized. The splash screen is not
displayed.
--nodefault Starts without displaying anything except the splash
screen (do not display initial window).
--invisible Starts in invisible mode. Neither the start-up
logo nor
the initial program window will be visible.
Application
can be controlled, and documents and dialogs can be
controlled and opened via the API. Using the
parameter,
the process can only be ended using the taskmanager
(Windows) or the kill command (UNIX-like
systems). It
cannot be used in conjunction with --quickstart.
--headless Starts in "headless mode" which allows using the
application without GUI. This special mode can
be used
when the application is controlled by external
clients
via the API.
--norestore Disables restart and file recovery after a
system crash.
--safe-mode Starts in a safe mode, i.e. starts temporarily
with a
fresh user profile and helps to restore a broken
configuration.
--accept={UNO-URL} Specifies an UNO-URL connect-string to create an UNO
acceptor through which other programs can connect to
access the API. UNO-URL is string the such kind
uno:connection-type,params;protocol-name,params;ObjectName.
--unaccept={UNO-URL} Closes an acceptor that was created with
--accept. Use
--unaccept=all to close all open acceptors.
--language={lang} Uses specified language, if language is not selected
yet for UI. The lang is a tag of the language in

Developer arguments:
--terminate_after_init
Exit after initialization complete (no documents
loaded).
--eventtesting Exit after loading documents.
New document creation arguments:
The arguments create an empty document of specified kind. Only one of
them may
be used in one command line. If filenames are specified after an argument,
then it tries to open those files in the specified component.
--writer Creates an empty Writer document.
--calc Creates an empty Calc document.
--draw Creates an empty Draw document.
--impress Creates an empty Impress document.
--base Creates a new database.
--global Creates an empty Writer master (global) document.
--math Creates an empty Math document (formula).
--web Creates an empty HTML document.
File open arguments:
The arguments define how following filenames are treated. New treatment
begins
after the argument and ends at the next argument. The default treatment
is to
open documents for editing, and create new documents from document
templates.
-n Treats following files as templates for creation
of new
documents.
-o Opens following files for editing, regardless
whether
they are templates or not.
--pt {Printername} Prints following files to the printer {Printername},
after which those files are closed. The splash
screen
does not appear. If used multiple times, only last
{Printername} is effective for all documents of all
--pt runs. Also, --printer-name argument of
--print-to-file switch interferes with
{Printername}.
-p Prints following files to the default printer, after
which those files are closed. The splash screen does
not appear. If the file name contains spaces,
then it
must be enclosed in quotation marks.
--view Opens following files in viewer mode (read-only).
--show Opens and starts the following presentation
documents
of each immediately. Files are closed after the
showing.
Files other than Impress documents are opened in
default mode , regardless of previous mode.
--convert-to OutputFileExtension[:OutputFilterName]
[--outdir output_dir] [--convert-images-to]
Batch convert files (implies --headless). If
--outdir
isn't specified, then current working directory
is used
as output_dir. If --convert-images-to is given, its
parameter is taken as the target MIME format for
*all*
images written to the output format. If
--convert-to is
used more than once, the last value of
OutputFileExtension
[:OutputFilterName] is effective. If --outdir is
used more
than once, only its last value is effective. For
example:
--convert-to pdf *.odt
--convert-to epub *.doc
--convert-to pdf:writer_pdf_Export --outdir
/home/user *.doc
--convert-to "html:XHTML Writer File:UTF8" *.doc
--convert-to "txt:Text (encoded):UTF8" *.doc
--print-to-file [--printer-name printer_name] [--outdir output_dir]
Batch print files to file. If --outdir is not
specified,
then current working directory is used as
output_dir.
If --printer-name or --outdir used multiple
times, only
last value of each is effective. Also,
{Printername} of
--pt switch interferes with --printer-name.
--cat Dump text content of the following files to console
(implies --headless). Cannot be used with
--convert-to.
--script-cat Dump text content of any scripts embedded in the
files to console
(implies --headless). Cannot be used with
--convert-to.
-env:<VAR>[=<VALUE>] Set a bootstrap variable. For example: to set
a non-default user profile path:
