Hi! I’m running ConTeXt on my web server e.g. to generate shipping forms for a customer.
As Hans said, it makes sense to use an asynchronous setup; in my case it’s celery/RabbitMQ behind Django. You probably need to set a few environment variables: I find HOME, PATH, TEXROOT and TEXMFOS in my setup. I don’t know if you really need all of them, it’s already running for several years… Also your web server process might only run binaries that belong to some user/group like wwwrun. It won’t work in shared hosting, because you can’t install your own programs. Otherwise: What kind of documentation do you need? Installing ConTeXt on a (web) server is not different from any other Linux system. Calling ConTeXt from a web application is not different from calling any other external program. The rest depends on your setup and web frameworks.
