Is there any hope to the refresh loop?

[azach1994]

Like many excalibur users. I have the excalibur installation stuck in the infinite loop. But the structure of the local excalibur webserver is there and everything that it requires to get it to potentially work locally exists. Is this project dead?

Same situation.

Any update on this?
I finally got this installed after fidgeting with pip and dependencies all day only to find out uploading a file just constantly refreshes the page without doing anything.
Running Python 3.7, Ghostscript 10.00.0

So for anyone else struggling to get the right dependencies installed, I found this docker image that still works like a charm.

I am new to ALL of this. I am having the same issue. It gets stuck in a 304 loop while parsing a downloaded copy of the document I chose to test this on (the Arizona Math Standards pdf to fit my use case). It ran for several hours before I discovered this problem. Now I am trying the "docker image" above. In order to use it I had to download the docker desktop and ran the resulting docker image from the above link posted by r5574. It doesn't work for me. I run the the image and try to navigate to the new address (from the Docker Desktop Output) in my browser (http://0.0.0.0:80/) and all I get is:

"Unable to connect
An error occurred during a connection to 0.0.0.0:80.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web."

I get a similar error for the localhost address (127.0.0.1:80...). When running Excalibur from the Windows Command line (using the windows package) at least it loaded the web page properly. But I got the loop. Is there any way I can run this (Excalibur) without the loop on Windows? Where does the Docker Desktop download the project... perhaps if I could run it from the Windows command line?

Or is there any other way to extract PDFs to tables without having to create an extraction template? I have tried talking to a company that offers a commercial app but they said I had to create a template for extraction. I want to be able to download teaching standards from anywhere on the internet and extract the standards from the pdf document. I can't use a template. Which is why I came here... (plus its free lol...)

fwiw, this docker image is quite recent and just works ghcr.io/williamjacksn/excalibur

Sadly, Had no luck with those docker images on windows 10

This docker image only occasionally works for me on MacOS Sonoma with an M1.

The website always loads to the home page correctly, but beyond that things don't work reliably for me. Most of the time I get an endless loading screen as it tries to convert the pdf into images. Things seemed to get better though oddly when I killed the docker process during the endless 'converting to image' step, and then restarting. Some other things I've noticed are that 'stream' is less likely to result in endless loading than 'lattice'.
