docassemble, an open source expert system for guided interviews and automated document assembly, ready to run legal and business workflows from first boot.
Overview
docassemble is an open source expert system for guided interviews and automated document assembly. It leads a user through a branching question and answer interview, collects and validates the answers, and assembles the results into finished PDF and Word documents from templates. Interviews are authored in a readable YAML format with Python logic, so complex conditional workflows, calculations and document generation run without bespoke application code. Originally built for the legal aid community, it is used by legal services organisations, courts, government agencies and businesses to turn repetitive form filling and document preparation into a self service web application.
Why the cloudimg image
cloudimg delivers docassemble installed the full non containerised way and fully patched, with its PostgreSQL database, Redis, RabbitMQ, background workers and web front end all preconfigured so the platform answers on first boot. The image is secure by default: the upstream default administrator is never shipped, and on the first boot of every instance a unique administrator password and application secret key are generated and written to a root only file, so no two instances share a login. The database and uploaded and generated documents live on a dedicated data volume that is captured into the image and re provisioned on every instance, and every deployment comes with a paired deploy guide and 24/7 cloudimg support.
Common uses
- Automated assembly of legal and business documents from guided interviews
