Hello folks, Following up on a post over on the dev list this morning I got around to publishing some snap packages for Tika that I've been tinkering with for a couple of months.
For those(most) of you who don't know about Snap packages, they allow applications to run confined from one another offering greater security over traditional package formats, similarly they allow automated upgrades and rollbacks to newer versions. Lastly, they are supported (to various degrees of usefulness) on a few different platforms including Ubuntu, Debian, Centos, Fedora and a few others which obviously makes cross platform deployments a bit easier. Anyway with that out of the way, those of you who use Ubuntu Xenial or later can do sudo apt install snapd followed by sudo snap install tika-server or sudo snap install tika-app because I've just been using them for some internal stuff I've not yet got around to plugging them into extra applications which will require some tinkering to allow communications across different applications but if people have questions, comments or suggestions I'd be happy to hear them. Tom
