/models not working

[kba]

          Unfortunately, I cannot confirm that this works... 

SIF_PATH="/scratch1/users/${USER}/ocrd_all_maximum_image.sif"
OCRD_MODELS_DIR="/scratch1/users/${USER}/ocrd_models"
OCRD_MODELS_DIR_IN_DOCKER="/models"

singularity exec --bind "${OCRD_MODELS_DIR}:${OCRD_MODELS_DIR_IN_DOCKER}" "${SIF_PATH}" ocrd resmgr download ocrd-tesserocr-recognize '*'

Does not work. However, if I do it the old way I used to with OCRD_MODELS_DIR_IN_DOCKER="/usr/local/share" then it works but effectively overwrites that path which leads to other issues such as https://github.com/OCR-D/ocrd_olena/issues/87

For more clarification, I can still effectively use /models for other recognizers. Only tesserocr is problematic in my case.

I think I now know what's going on:

https://github.com/OCR-D/ocrd_all/blob/56507f1f89fcef43eab7daac06cc8ef6143aee21/Dockerfile#L136-L142

So what is supposed to happen here is that we end up with /usr/local/share/tessdata -> /usr/local/share/ocrd-resources/ocrd-tesserocr-recognize with the preinstalled models.

However, since recently we switched to staged build (core → minimum → medium → maximum), that means we enter the above castling move over and over again. Which means:

1. the mv in L141 will not create /usr/local/share/ocrd-resources/ocrd-tesserocr-recognize, but place tessdata (which now is merely a symlink) beneath itself, leading to an infinite chain /usr/local/share/ocrd-resources/ocrd-tesserocr-recognize/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata/...
2. the ln in L142 will mirror that to/usr/local/share/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata/...

At runtime, OCR-D resource manager will choke on this structure:

10:20:50.776 INFO ocrd.resource_manager - ocrd-tesserocr-recognize resource 'tessdata' (/usr/local/share/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata/tessdata) not a known resource, creating stub in /usr/local/share/ocrd-resources/ocrd/resources.yml'

The same goes for https://github.com/OCR-D/ocrd_all/blob/56507f1f89fcef43eab7daac06cc8ef6143aee21/Dockerfile#L144-L148 which due to repetition creates a loop /models/ocrd-resources/ocrd-resources/ocrd-resources/ocrd-resources/....

So IMO what needs to be done in both cases is checking whether the target already exists.

Executing:

singularity exec ocrd_all_maximum_image.sif ls -la /models

Outputs:

drwxrwxrwx  5 root   root 111 Jul  1 17:49 .
drwxr-xr-x 26 u11874 GWDG 780 Jul  3 13:24 ..

drwxr-xr-x  4 root   root 161 Jul  1 17:49 ocrd-tesserocr-recognize

When I volume map to /models could it be that the processor still expects tessdata instead of ocrd-tesserocr-recognize?

I have the latest ocrd_all image from 01.07. But I am unsure if something is odd because core --version also prints 2.64.0 instead of 2.66.1 on my end.
