Feature request: run the OCR process on another server #260

Closed ferdiga closed 1 month ago

Describe the feature request

some NC-Service Providers do not offer OCR - support, because of the system load during ocrmypdf execution.

would be great to implement a solution like for fulltextsearch running in a docker on another server. As no os-access is granted by the Service Providers (understandable) it must be solved in the APP IMO

There's already a discussion going on here. The main problem is that the implementation of such a "ocrMyPdf service" requires quite a bit of work. Things like encrypted communication and authentication are necessary to realize this.

Because of the fact that we've only very limited dev capacity, unfortunately this is definitely nothing for the near future. Of course contribution is always welcome, so if there's anybody willing to participate - feel free :+1:
