# Output Pipeline Overview
|
|
|
|
This directory contains the post-processing side of ResumeCustomizer. It is responsible for taking a job-targeted Markdown resume produced elsewhere in the system and turning it into printable DOCX/PDF artifacts.
|
|
|
|
## Directory Layout
|
|
- `ForRelease/inbox`: drop a single `*.md` file here to trigger conversion.
|
|
- `ForRelease/outbox/YYYY/MM/DD/HHMM`: conversion results (paired `.docx` and `.pdf`) organized by timestamp so repeated runs never overwrite each other.
|
|
- `ForRelease/processed/YYYY/MM/DD/HHMM`: archives of Markdown files that converted successfully.
|
|
- `ForRelease/failed`: Markdown files that encountered an error during conversion (contains `.gitkeep` to preserve the directory).
|
|
- `Docker/`: container definition, watcher script, and helper wrapper that run the conversion daemon.
|
|
|
|
All `ForRelease` subdirectories include `.gitkeep`/`.gitignore` files so generated resumes stay local and out of version control.
|
|
## Running the Output Processor
|
|
Use the wrapper so the container writes files with your UID/GID:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd output/Docker
|
|
./run-output-processor.sh up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The script detects either the Docker Compose plugin or the legacy `docker-compose` binary and forwards any additional arguments you supply (`down`, `logs`, etc.). The stack registers under the project name `RCEO-AI-ResumeCustomizer-Output`, and the primary container is `RCEO-AI-ResumeCustomizer-OutputProcessor`.
|
|
|
|
## What the Watcher Does
|
|
1. Polls `ForRelease/inbox` every few seconds for a single Markdown resume.
|
|
2. Runs Pandoc using the shared DOCX and LaTeX templates to generate DOCX/PDF.
|
|
3. Drops the exports into the timestamped folder under `ForRelease/outbox`.
|
|
4. Moves the original Markdown into the matching timestamp folder under `ForRelease/processed`.
|
|
5. If the Pandoc conversion fails, moves the Markdown into `ForRelease/failed` so it can be reviewed without blocking subsequent runs.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
- Docker Engine with either the Compose plugin (`docker compose`) or standalone `docker-compose`.
|
|
- Pandoc templates available under `input/templates` relative to the repo root (mounted read-only into the container).
|
|
|
|
Stop the service with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd output/Docker
|
|
./run-output-processor.sh down
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Log output is available through `./run-output-processor.sh logs -f`.
