Tesseract API Template

pytesseract

This is a Tesseract API template for projects using the tesseract-api package. To start using this template, just create a new repository from this template and start coding 🎉

Docker

Use of local environments

If you were using node directly to develop, please recall your .env file to .env.local. For the purpouse of this template, .env is used as the initial example and is not ignored on .gitignore

Using Docker to Develop

Required to install Docker on your environment

Build you container

If you want to build your container on Docker run docker build -t <PROJECT_NAME>-tesseract-api .. If your app require environment variables at buildtime, remember to call them on the Dockerfile and use them adding --build-arg <ENV_NAME>=<ENV_VALUE> per variable to the build command

Run you container

Before you can test your container, remember to update the variables inside your .env.local file to the latest values, those will be used later at runtime

To run the recently builded image use the command docker run --rm --env-file=./.env.local -p 7777:7777 <PROJECT_NAME>-tesseract-api on the folder where .env.local is located. If you want to run the app on the background, change the --rm flag to -d
