Hey Konstantin Sorry, thought my reply to the mailer sorted out the subscription but it got messed up somewhere, subscribed now.
Happy to help and contribute something we've been useful back upstream. The build was off master as I was testing some stuff, but I can realign it to use 1.15 stable, I'll do that tomorrow. I have the scripts in my local Tika fork, would you like a PR? I'm happy either way they are only small yaml files. You are correct about the confinement currently, but the chaps at canonical are working on adding SELinux rules to Snapd to provide confinement on Redhat based OSes soon(ish).
