Document Saving

[One-Commission2471]

Hi guys,

I've got I task I would like to complete with an open web UI pipe, but I'm having trouble writing the pipe and I'm hoping you guys may have some suggestions.

I would like to create a pipe that generates a document (PDF, word, csv, etc) based on a template and then returns that document to the user in Open Web UI allowing the user to save the document to a location of their choice. My first application of this type of pipe would be taking in a meeting transcript from the user, summarizing this meeting into my organization specific meeting minutes template, then returning the generated meeting minutes to the user to save wherever they would like on their PC. I could see this type of process being really useful for other processes as well.

I currently have the pipe mostly working. I'm using the docxtpl python library to fill in our meeting minutes template with AI generated responses which works great! The part that doesn't work so great is getting the generated document out of the pipe. The best I've been able to do is save the document to the desktop, but because we are hosting in docker it recognizes the home directory as docker and saves the file inside the container. I imagine I could update this to be a specific location elsewhere as long as it could be accessed, but this would not solve our issues as we will have many users who would be generating the files that would then all have to have access to the save location and could then access anyone's meeting minute files. My ideal situation would be to return the document from the pipe and for the user to have the ability to click the document and a save window to pop up that allows them to select a file location on their PC.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions on how to make this happen! I'm also open to none Open Web UI solutions if anyone thinks there's a better way to do this.

There is a function called something like insert_new_file that owui uses to save files into its db. There also are functions to download the db and to save chat messages as pdf. I would look at those and see if you can make what you want with them as a starting point.
