You can install WebSpellChecker Server using a Docker image available at Docker Hub. There are two prebuilt images of WebSpellChecker/WProofreader: SSL and non-SSL versions.

You may benefit from using a Docker image when evaluating WebSpellChecker whereas for production purposes or a real setup you need to create a custom image using a Dockerfile. 

To create and use a custom Docker image, navigate to wproofreader-docker repo and familiarize with detailed instructions and further steps descriptions.

    • config.ini – a configuration file containing automated silent installation. For details, refer to the Automated Installing WebSpellChecker on Linux guide;
    • startService.sh – a script that starts all services required to launch WebSpellChecker when running the container;
    • configSSL.ini – a configuration file containing automated silent installation for the SSL version;
    • enableSSL.pl –  a script that enables SSL on Apache web server and specifies the paths to SSL certificate files.
  • Dockerfile –  a file describing the sequence of  commands required to create a Docker image with WebSpellChecker Server;
