Description

Docassemble runs guided interviews that ask people questions and assemble letters, forms and PDFs from their answers. Interviews are written in YAML with optional Python, and authored in the built-in Playground. It is widely used by legal aid organisations and courts.

This package runs docassemble on Cloudron's own PostgreSQL, Redis, mail and sign-in. Your configuration, uploaded files and add-on packages live with the app's data and are included in Cloudron backups.

Who can run code. Docassemble interviews can contain Python. Anyone with a developer or administrator account can write and run that code in the Playground, and it runs with the same access as the app itself, which includes every stored answer and account in this app's database. People who only answer interviews cannot run code. Give developer and administrator roles only to people you would trust with all of this app's data.

Recent Changes

  • New package for docassemble 1.10.15, built from cloudron/base 6.0.1 with Python 3.15. It replaces the earlier v0.1 package and is a fresh install, not an update to it.

  • Services come from Cloudron addons: PostgreSQL, Redis (also the background-task broker), LDAP sign-in, outgoing mail and scheduled jobs.

  • config.yml is written once and kept; settings changed in docassemble's editor survive restarts.

  • Live help: the websocket server now sends the Redis password.

  • Sign-in with Cloudron accounts through LDAP (docassemble's WhoAmI check replaced; anonymous binds refused).

  • PDFs use Tinos, metric-compatible with Times New Roman; STIX Two Text and Source Serif 4 included. Your own fonts go in /app/data/fonts.

  • Background OCR returns text again (two upstream bugs fixed); background tasks no longer share database connections under load.

  • Memory limit 4.5 GiB, measured.

  • Thanks to timconsidine, whose community package first ran docassemble on Cloudron addons with Redis as the task broker.
