Add Document Services to Linux Environments

May 8, 2025
Text Control DS Server 4.0 adds Linux support and better container compatibility, making document processing easier to deploy in DevOps.

DS Server by Text Control is a powerful document processing backend designed to integrate seamlessly into web applications, providing developers with a robust set of APIs for creating, editing, viewing, and converting documents. Built for scalability and security, DS Server allows organizations to automate document workflows within their own infrastructure or cloud environments, eliminating the need for external dependencies. With support for popular formats like DOCX, PDF, and HTML, it enables rich document capabilities while maintaining full control over data and compliance. Whether you're generating dynamic reports, creating user-editable templates, or embedding secure document viewers, DS Server delivers high-performance document services tailored to modern application needs.

The DS Server by Text Control 4.0 update introduces full Linux support, significantly expanding its deployment versatility. Users can now run DS Server on a range of Linux environments, including virtual machines, bare-metal servers, Docker containers, and popular platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offerings such as Azure App Service for Linux and AWS Elastic Beanstalk. This move enables organizations to integrate DS Server into their existing Linux-based infrastructure, reducing reliance on Windows environments and optimizing for cost, performance, and scalability in cloud-native and on-premise setups.
