Install and Setup OCR on NC v23

🍱 Features & apps

I am trying to get Tesseract OCR working on v23. I have installed the
Full text search - Files - Tesseract OCR and the
Full text search - Files
I have installed the tesseract files using apt in the docker container.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is request for adding this function into Nextcloud VM administration script. When developers will decide to implement this, you can look at what is script doing and reproduce it into your container envinronment. In meantime, you can ask developer of FTS OCR app for some guidance https://github.com/ArtificialOwl
