Integrate executable file in Confluence

[Melissa Rößler]

Hello Community,

I have converted a Python program into a *.exe file and now I want to include it in Confluence. However, not as a downloadable file, but rather I would like to run the file via Confluence. Is this somehow possible?

Or does anyone have another idea?

Thank you in advance!

Hi @Melissa Rößler and welcome to the community,

This would look like a huge security issue... and from what I know I don't think it's doable. Why you want to do that?

[Melissa Rößler]

Hi Alex, 

thank you for your message! I want to integrate some tools, e.g. a timer for meetings. 

Is there another idea, how we can do that?

[Alex Koxaras _Relational_]

Look at the marketplace for an app. There are some you could work with and some of them are free as well!

[Melissa Rößler]

Thank you for the feedback again.

Unfortunately our Confluence admins do not accept additional apps.

Is it still possible otherwise, or can it just be added as a downloadable file? 

[Alex Koxaras _Relational_]

Nope, there is no other way to do this.

You can try to upload it, but I can be sure that it will be uploaded. On server, perhaps the admins restricted uploading exe files.

I also want to do the same as what Melissa is trying to do, by uploading an executable Python file into Confluence for a User Guide document that I am creating. I would like the readers of this document to be able to save that executable file to their local or network drives.

Any suggestions for how I can achieve this?
