 # Docling Serve

- Running [Docling](https://github.com/DS4SD/docling) as an API service.
+Running [Docling](https://github.com/docling-project/docling) as an API service.

-## Usage
+## Getting started

-The API provides two endpoints: one for urls, one for files. This is necessary to send files directly in binary format instead of base64-encoded strings.
+Install the `docling-serve` package and run the server.

-### Common parameters
+```bash
+# Using the python package
+pip install "docling-serve"
+docling-serve run

-On top of the source of file (see below), both endpoints support the same parameters, which are almost the same as the Docling CLI.
-
- `from_format` (List[str]): Input format(s) to convert from. Allowed values: `docx`, `pptx`, `html`, `image`, `pdf`, `asciidoc`, `md`. Defaults to all formats.
- `to_formats` (List[str]): Output format(s) to convert to. Allowed values: `md`, `json`, `html`, `text`, `doctags`. Defaults to `md`.
- `do_ocr` (bool): If enabled, the bitmap content will be processed using OCR. Defaults to `True`.
- `image_export_mode`: Image export mode for the document (only in case of JSON, Markdown or HTML). Allowed values: embedded, placeholder, referenced. Optional, defaults to `embedded`.
- `force_ocr` (bool): If enabled, replace any existing text with OCR-generated text over the full content. Defaults to `False`.
- `ocr_engine` (str): OCR engine to use. Allowed values: `easyocr`, `tesseract_cli`, `tesseract`, `rapidocr`, `ocrmac`. Defaults to `easyocr`.
- `ocr_lang` (List[str]): List of languages used by the OCR engine. Note that each OCR engine has different values for the language names. Defaults to empty.
- `pdf_backend` (str): PDF backend to use. Allowed values: `pypdfium2`, `dlparse_v1`, `dlparse_v2`. Defaults to `dlparse_v2`.
- `table_mode` (str): Table mode to use. Allowed values: `fast`, `accurate`. Defaults to `fast`.
- `abort_on_error` (bool): If enabled, abort on error. Defaults to false.
- `return_as_file` (boo): If enabled, return the output as a file. Defaults to false.
- `do_table_structure` (bool): If enabled, the table structure will be extracted. Defaults to true.
- `include_images` (bool): If enabled, images will be extracted from the document. Defaults to true.
- `images_scale` (float): Scale factor for images. Defaults to 2.0.
-
-### URL endpoint
-
-The endpoint is `/v1alpha/convert/source`, listening for POST requests of JSON payloads.
-
-On top of the above parameters, you must send the URL(s) of the document you want process with either the `http_sources` or `file_sources` fields.
-The first is fetching URL(s) (optionally using with extra headers), the second allows to provide documents as base64-encoded strings.
-No `options` is required, they can be partially or completely omitted.
-
-Simple payload example:
-
-```json
-{
-  "http_sources": [{"url": "https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.01062"}]
-}
+# Using container images, e.g. with Podman

-
-#### File as base64
-
-The `file_sources` argument in the endpoint allows to send files as base64-encoded strings.
-When your PDF or other file type is too large, encoding it and passing it inline to curl
-can lead to an “Argument list too long” error on some systems. To avoid this, we write
-the JSON request body to a file and have curl read from that file.
-
-<details>
-<summary>CURL steps:</summary>
-
-```sh
-# 1. Base64-encode the file
-B64_DATA=$(base64 -w 0 /path/to/file/pdf-to-convert.pdf)
-
-# 2. Build the JSON with your options
-cat <<EOF > /tmp/request_body.json
-{
-  "options": {
-  },
-  "file_sources": [{
-    "base64_string": "${B64_DATA}",
-    "filename": "pdf-to-convert.pdf"
-  }]
-}
-EOF
-
-# 3. POST the request to the docling service
-curl -X POST "localhost:5001/v1alpha/convert/source" \
-     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

-```
-

-
-### File endpoint
-

-
-### Response format
-
-The response can be a JSON Document or a File.
-
- If you process only one file, the response will be a JSON document with the following format:
-
-  ```jsonc
-  {
-    "document": {
-      "md_content": "",
-      "json_content": {},
-      "html_content": "",
-      "text_content": "",
-      "doctags_content": ""
-      },
-    "status": "<success|partial_success|skipped|failure>",
-    "processing_time": 0.0,
-    "timings": {},
-    "errors": []
-  }
-  ```
-
-  Depending on the value you set in `output_formats`, the different items will be populated with their respective results or empty.
-
-  `processing_time` is the Docling processing time in seconds, and `timings` (when enabled in the backend) provides the detailed
-  timing of all the internal Docling components.
-
- If you set the parameter `return_as_file` to True, the response will be a zip file.
- If multiple files are generated (multiple inputs, or one input but multiple outputs with `return_as_file` True), the response will be a zip file.
-
-## Run docling-serve
-
-Clone the repository and run the following from within the cloned directory root.

-```sh
-# Enable ui and rapidocr
-uv sync --extra ui --extra rapidocr
-```
-
-```sh
-# Enable tesserocr
-uv sync --extra tesserocr
-```
-
-See `[project.optional-dependencies]` section in `pyproject.toml` for full list of options and runtime options with `uv run docling-serve --help`.
-
-### Run the server
-
-The `docling-serve` executable is a convenient script for launching the webserver both in
-development and production mode.
-
-```sh
-# Run the server in development mode
-# - reload is enabled by default
-# - listening on the 127.0.0.1 address
-# - ui is enabled by default
-docling-serve dev
-
-# Run the server in production mode
-# - reload is disabled by default
-# - listening on the 0.0.0.0 address
-# - ui is disabled by default
-docling-serve run
-```
-
-### Options
-
-The `docling-serve` executable allows is controlled with both command line
-options and environment variables.

-<summary>`docling-serve` help message</summary>
-
-```sh
-$ docling-serve dev --help
-                                                                                                              
- Usage: docling-serve dev [OPTIONS]                                                                           
-                                                                                                              
- Run a Docling Serve app in development mode. 🧪                                                              
- This is equivalent to docling-serve run but with reload                                                      
- enabled and listening on the 127.0.0.1 address.                                                              
-                                                                                                              
- Options can be set also with the corresponding ENV variable, with the exception                              
- of --enable-ui, --host and --reload.

-#### Environment variables
-
-The environment variables controlling the `uvicorn` execution can be specified with the `UVICORN_` prefix:
-
- `UVICORN_WORKERS`: Number of workers to use.
- `UVICORN_RELOAD`: If `True`, this will enable auto-reload when you modify files, useful for development.
-
-The environment variables controlling specifics of the Docling Serve app can be specified with the
-`DOCLING_SERVE_` prefix:
-
- `DOCLING_SERVE_ARTIFACTS_PATH`: if set Docling will use only the local weights of models, for example `/opt/app-root/src/.cache/docling/models`.
- `DOCLING_SERVE_ENABLE_UI`: If `True`, The Gradio UI will be available at `/ui`.
-
-Others:
-
- `TESSDATA_PREFIX`: Tesseract data location, example `/usr/share/tesseract/tessdata/`.
+Visit the [Docling Serve documentation](./docs/README.md) for learning how to [configure the webserver](./docs/configuration.md), use all the [runtime options](./docs/usage.md) of the API and [deployment examples](./docs/deployment.md).

+# Configuration
+
+The `docling-serve` executable allows to configure the server via command line
+options as well as environment variables.
+Configurations are divided between the settings used for the `uvicorn` asgi
+server and the actual app-specific configurations.
+
+ > [!WARNING]
+> When the server is running with `reload` or with multiple `workers`, uvicorn
+> will spawn multiple subprocessed. This invalides all the values configured
+> via the CLI command line options. Please use environment variables in this
+> type of deployments.
+
+## Webserver configuration
+
+The following table shows the options which are propagated directly to the
+`uvicorn` webserver runtime.
+
+| CLI option | ENV | Default | Description |
+| -----------|-----|---------|-------------|
+| `--host` | `UVICORN_HOST` | `0.0.0.0` for `run`, `localhost` for `dev` | THe host to serve on. |
+| `--port` | `UVICORN_PORT` | `5001` | The port to serve on. |
+| `--reload` | `UVICORN_RELOAD` | `false` for `run`, `true` for `dev` | Enable auto-reload of the server when (code) files change. |
+| `--workers` | `UVICORN_WORKERS` | `1` | Use multiple worker processes. |
+| `--root-path` | `UVICORN_ROOT_PATH` | `""` | The root path is used to tell your app that it is being served to the outside world with some |
+| `--proxy-headers` | `UVICORN_PROXY_HEADERS` | `true` | Enable/Disable X-Forwarded-Proto, X-Forwarded-For, X-Forwarded-Port to populate remote address info. |
+| `--timeout-keep-alive` | `UVICORN_TIMEOUT_KEEP_ALIVE` | `60` | Timeout for the server response. |
+| `--ssl-certfile` | `UVICORN_SSL_CERTFILE` |  | SSL certificate file. |
+| `--ssl-keyfile` | `UVICORN_SSL_KEYFILE` |  | SSL key file. |
+| `--ssl-keyfile-password` | `UVICORN_SSL_KEYFILE_PASSWORD` |  | SSL keyfile password. |
+
+## Docling Serve configuration
+
+THe following table describes the options to configure the Docling Serve app.
+
+| CLI option | ENV | Default | Description |
+| -----------|-----|---------|-------------|
+| `--artifacts-path` | `DOCLING_SERVE_ARTIFACTS_PATH` | unset | If set to a valid directory, the model weights will be loaded from this path |
+|  | `DOCLING_SERVE_STATIC_PATH` | unset | If set to a valid directory, the static assets for the docs and ui will be loaded from this path |
+| `--enable-ui` | `DOCLING_SERVE_ENABLE_UI` | `false` | Enable the demonstrator UI. |
+|  | `DOCLING_SERVE_OPTIONS_CACHE_SIZE` | `2` | How many DocumentConveter objects (including their loaded models) to keep in the cache. |
+|  | `DOCLING_SERVE_CORS_ORIGINS` | `["*"]` | A list of origins that should be permitted to make cross-origin requests. |
+|  | `DOCLING_SERVE_CORS_METHODS` | `["*"]` | A list of HTTP methods that should be allowed for cross-origin requests. |
+|  | `DOCLING_SERVE_CORS_HEADERS` | `["*"]` | A list of HTTP request headers that should be supported for cross-origin requests. |

+This document provides deployment examples for running the application in different environments.
+
+Choose the deployment option that best fits your setup.
+
+- **[Local GPU](#local-gpu)**: For deploying the application locally on a machine with a NVIDIA GPU (using Docker Compose).
+- **[OpenShift](#openshift)**: For deploying the application on an OpenShift cluster, designed for cloud-native environments.
+
+---
+
+## Local GPU
+
+### Docker compose
+
+Manifest example: [compose-gpu.yaml](./deploy-examples/compose-gpu.yaml)
+
+This deployment has the following features:
+
+- NVIDIA cuda enabled
+
+Install the app with:
+
+```sh
+docker compose -f docs/deploy-examples/compose-gpu.yaml up -d
+```
+
+For using the API:
+
+```sh
+# Make a test query
+curl -X 'POST' \
+  "localhost:5001/v1alpha/convert/source/async" \
+  -H "accept: application/json" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "http_sources": [{"url": "https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.17887"}]
+  }'
+```
+
+<details>
+<summary><b>Requirements</b></summary>
+
+- debian/ubuntu/rhel/fedora/opensuse
+- docker
+- nvidia drivers >=550.54.14
+- nvidia-container-toolkit
+
+Docs:
+
+- [NVIDIA Container Toolkit](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/supported-platforms.html)
+- [CUDA Toolkit Release Notes](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-toolkit-release-notes/index.html#id6)
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><b>Steps</b></summary>
+
+1. Check driver version and which GPU you want to use (0/1/2/3.. and update [compose-gpu.yaml](./deploy-examples/compose-gpu.yaml) file or use `count: all`)
+
+    ```sh
+    nvidia-smi
+    ```
+
+2. Check if the NVIDIA Container Toolkit is installed/updated
+
+    ```sh
+    # debian
+    dpkg -l | grep nvidia-container-toolkit
+    ```
+
+    ```sh
+    # rhel
+    rpm -q nvidia-container-toolkit
+    ```
+
+    NVIDIA Container Toolkit install steps can be found here:
+
+    <https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html>
+
+3. Check which runtime is being used by Docker
+
+    ```sh
+    # docker
+    docker info | grep -i runtime
+    ```
+
+4. If the default Docker runtime changes back from 'nvidia' to 'default' after restarting the Docker service (optional):
+
+    Backup the daemon.json file:
+
+    ```sh
+    sudo cp /etc/docker/daemon.json /etc/docker/daemon.json.bak
+    ```
+
+    Update the daemon.json file:
+
+    ```sh
+    echo '{
+      "runtimes": {
+        "nvidia": {
+          "path": "nvidia-container-runtime"
+        }
+      },
+      "default-runtime": "nvidia"
+    }' | sudo tee /etc/docker/daemon.json > /dev/null
+    ```
+
+    Restart the Docker service:
+
+    ```sh
+    sudo systemctl restart docker
+    ```
+
+    Confirm 'nvidia' is the default runtime used by Docker by repeating step 3.
+
+5. Run the container:
+
+    ```sh
+    docker compose -f docs/deploy-examples/compose-gpu.yaml up -d
+    ```

+# Usage
+
+The API provides two endpoints: one for urls, one for files. This is necessary to send files directly in binary format instead of base64-encoded strings.
+
+## Common parameters
+
+On top of the source of file (see below), both endpoints support the same parameters, which are almost the same as the Docling CLI.
+
+- `from_format` (List[str]): Input format(s) to convert from. Allowed values: `docx`, `pptx`, `html`, `image`, `pdf`, `asciidoc`, `md`. Defaults to all formats.
+- `to_formats` (List[str]): Output format(s) to convert to. Allowed values: `md`, `json`, `html`, `text`, `doctags`. Defaults to `md`.
+- `do_ocr` (bool): If enabled, the bitmap content will be processed using OCR. Defaults to `True`.
+- `image_export_mode`: Image export mode for the document (only in case of JSON, Markdown or HTML). Allowed values: embedded, placeholder, referenced. Optional, defaults to `embedded`.
+- `force_ocr` (bool): If enabled, replace any existing text with OCR-generated text over the full content. Defaults to `False`.
+- `ocr_engine` (str): OCR engine to use. Allowed values: `easyocr`, `tesseract_cli`, `tesseract`, `rapidocr`, `ocrmac`. Defaults to `easyocr`.
+- `ocr_lang` (List[str]): List of languages used by the OCR engine. Note that each OCR engine has different values for the language names. Defaults to empty.
+- `pdf_backend` (str): PDF backend to use. Allowed values: `pypdfium2`, `dlparse_v1`, `dlparse_v2`. Defaults to `dlparse_v2`.
+- `table_mode` (str): Table mode to use. Allowed values: `fast`, `accurate`. Defaults to `fast`.
+- `abort_on_error` (bool): If enabled, abort on error. Defaults to false.
+- `return_as_file` (boo): If enabled, return the output as a file. Defaults to false.
+- `do_table_structure` (bool): If enabled, the table structure will be extracted. Defaults to true.
+- `include_images` (bool): If enabled, images will be extracted from the document. Defaults to true.
+- `images_scale` (float): Scale factor for images. Defaults to 2.0.
+
+## Convert endpoints
+
+### Source endpoint
+
+The endpoint is `/v1alpha/convert/source`, listening for POST requests of JSON payloads.
+
+On top of the above parameters, you must send the URL(s) of the document you want process with either the `http_sources` or `file_sources` fields.
+The first is fetching URL(s) (optionally using with extra headers), the second allows to provide documents as base64-encoded strings.
+No `options` is required, they can be partially or completely omitted.
+
+Simple payload example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "http_sources": [{"url": "https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.01062"}]

+
+#### File as base64
+
+The `file_sources` argument in the endpoint allows to send files as base64-encoded strings.
+When your PDF or other file type is too large, encoding it and passing it inline to curl
+can lead to an “Argument list too long” error on some systems. To avoid this, we write
+the JSON request body to a file and have curl read from that file.
+
+<details>
+<summary>CURL steps:</summary>
+
+```sh
+# 1. Base64-encode the file
+B64_DATA=$(base64 -w 0 /path/to/file/pdf-to-convert.pdf)
+
+# 2. Build the JSON with your options
+cat <<EOF > /tmp/request_body.json
+{
+  "options": {
+  },
+  "file_sources": [{
+    "base64_string": "${B64_DATA}",
+    "filename": "pdf-to-convert.pdf"
+  }]
+}
+EOF
+
+# 3. POST the request to the docling service
+curl -X POST "localhost:5001/v1alpha/convert/source" \
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d @/tmp/request_body.json
+```
+
+</details>
+
+### File endpoint
+
+The endpoint is: `/v1alpha/convert/file`, listening for POST requests of Form payloads (necessary as the files are sent as multipart/form data). You can send one or multiple files.
+
+<details>
+<summary>CURL example:</summary>
+
+```sh
+curl -X 'POST' \
+  'http://127.0.0.1:5001/v1alpha/convert/file' \

+
+## Response format
+
+The response can be a JSON Document or a File.
+
+- If you process only one file, the response will be a JSON document with the following format:
+
+  ```jsonc
+  {
+    "document": {
+      "md_content": "",
+      "json_content": {},
+      "html_content": "",
+      "text_content": "",
+      "doctags_content": ""
+      },
+    "status": "<success|partial_success|skipped|failure>",
+    "processing_time": 0.0,
+    "timings": {},
+    "errors": []
+  }
+  ```
+
+  Depending on the value you set in `output_formats`, the different items will be populated with their respective results or empty.
+
+  `processing_time` is the Docling processing time in seconds, and `timings` (when enabled in the backend) provides the detailed
+  timing of all the internal Docling components.
+
+- If you set the parameter `return_as_file` to True, the response will be a zip file.
+- If multiple files are generated (multiple inputs, or one input but multiple outputs with `return_as_file` True), the response will be a zip file.
