OCR Server
Simple OCR server with Tesseract and FastAPI - Deploy on https://ocr.ianchenn.com/images/
This project
I’ve built a simple ocr server with Tesseract, FastAPI, and deployed in my homelab with docker compose. The idea is to get a free and reliable OCR server to act as microservice for my future projects.
Main features are:
- Easy deploy on Docker (download and go)
- Good images extraction with Tesseract
- Simple usage (simple request and response format)
- Small documentation
The configuration and documentation are available on GitHub repo and server is deployed on https://ocr.ianchenn.com/images/.
Technologies used
- Tesseract
- FastAPI
- Docker
- Cloudflared
- Proxmox
What I’ve learned
Main thing I’ve learned from this project was file upload to server through API Requests.
