First of all, thanks for the cool project. Is there a list where the different Docker variants are explained. Where is the difference or advantages/disadvantages to the Tika version? Postgres and Sqlite are clear to me.

I'll add some comments to the compose files.

The Tika compose file adds support for Office documents to paperless (Word, Excel, Power Point, and their LibreOffice counterparts). This compose file adds the necessary configuration options as described here: https://paperless-ng.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration.html#tika-settings

However, these services increase the resource usage of paperless by quite a bit, and therefore they are optional.
