dataGotenberg is deliberately stateless: request files are written to an isolated temporary working directory, Chromium or LibreOffice produces the result, the PDF/image bytes are returned or uploaded to a configured webhook destination, and there is no built-in project database or template library.
setupDocker starts it quickly, but the user must build and host every HTML/CSS template, expose and secure the API, budget Chromium memory, and decide where generated files are stored.
source checked 2026-08-10
A Docker API that turns HTML into PDFs and screenshots, so you bring the templates and it handles the Chromium wrangling you do not want to own.
the catchGotenberg renders HTML to PDFs and screenshots but supplies no visual template editor, reusable data schema, video generation, hosted asset library, workflow integrations, or agent-friendly template product.
the verdict →all Orshot alternatives →
A single Docker API for screenshots and PDFs; no anti-bot magic included.
