Files for Rotativa.AspNetCore run on linux
A binary dump of wkhtmltox 0.12.4 pre-compiled for Linux, intended to be dropped into an ASP.NET Core project using Rotativa.AspNetCore. It solves one specific pain point: Rotativa ships Windows binaries, so Linux/Docker deployments need the Linux equivalents somewhere in the project tree.
Saves you from building wkhtmltox from source on a CI box where that dependency chain is painful. Includes both the standalone binaries and the shared library files needed if you want to call libwkhtmltox directly. Having the help text files committed alongside means Rotativa's binary detection logic finds everything it expects.
This is a 7-year-old binary (0.12.4, last touched April 2019) of a project that is itself abandoned — wkhtmltopdf is unmaintained and has known rendering bugs with modern HTML/CSS. Committing compiled binaries to git with no checksums, no provenance, and no build script is a supply chain risk: you are trusting a 5-star repo to not have swapped the binary. There is no Docker layer, no Dockerfile, no instructions — just files in a folder, so 'run on Linux' means 'copy these yourself and figure out the path config'. No version of Debian/Ubuntu this was built against is documented, so glibc compatibility is a guess.
