You could do it with

getting all the dependencies right for running in the server is a bit
tedious. You can also use Excel itself for that (eg. COM automation), as
suggested by vitalif, supposing you are using a Windows server.
You can in fact automate OO/LO in this manner. We do this at work (an
application that has to turn RTF and DOC into PDFs; if you want a
fighting chance of rendering Word files, you need something of
comparable size to Word). Not fast (and we never could get daemon mode
working) so cache your results.
