In addition to the other post...
You already have a setup and throwing one more docker on isn't a big deal. especially if you have watchtower already setup as well... then it even updates itself.
I use tools like this all the time... PDF for example stirling-pdf makes doing something things a LOT easier than firing up a "proper" pdf editor. This tool would likely be the same concept for other workflows.
I love Stirling PDF. I use it probably once a quarter on average. But it's always there, ready to be useful.
As do I.. had a coworker message me about using adobe to merge/split pdfs... rather than walking them through the adobe workflow, just linked them right to the url... It's so easy to use that I didn't have to say anything more. they got it in seconds that would have taken me minutes of back and forth to explain to them.
It's great. Simple tools for simple purpose.
