What is different from the original apache-tika image?

Trying to figure out which one to use, and this one does not seem to share the reason for its existence :-)

I've seen a few composes reference this particular version, and was in the same situation as you. I took a look at the Tika releases from https://tika.apache.org and found out that 1.x branch (which this is based on) is EOL in a month. I'll be going with the original from https://github.com/apache/tika-docker as a result.

I cannot speak for @dameikle, but IIRC he maintained this repo here before he was able to move things to/under the Apache organisation label (see https://github.com/LogicalSpark/docker-tikaserver/issues/22).

So, my personal impression was that this place here is a bit outdated and https://github.com/apache/tika-docker is where the music plays right now.

If my assessment is correct, maybe it would be a good idea to leave a note in the README here, pointing to the Apache repo?

Hello. Yes, @mpdude is correct, I started this repos initially before moving it over to apache/tika-docker (I'm an Apache Tika commiter and PMC member).

It's been in the back of mind for a wee while to retire this image and repos, the up coming 1.x EOL seems like a logical point to do so, so will update the README.

If this is the simple docker-compose.yml I was using, would tika 2 be a drop-in replacement for me?

@dameikle maybe you could update the README or otherwise leave a note for others to know that the apache/tika-docker repo would be a better choice?

Apart from that, have GitHub issues been turned off for the apache/tika-docker repo intentionally?
