I was thinking more of producing the actual image, so that others don’t have to go through the pain of compiling an image. Having the Dockerfile made available as well does give a nice recipe for modifying the “official” image. I recently tested Tesseract 3 with the latest Tika, and I did it by tweaking the existing Dockerfile that LogicalSpark has published.
I don’t know how other projects at ASF handle the image publishing. > On Nov 20, 2019, at 7:02 PM, Chris Mattmann <[email protected]> wrote: > > Nick, TBH, I don’t get it.
