Stirling PDF - OCR "disabled"

[DeepCoreSystem]

I installed last weekend the Stirling PDF LXC container on Proxmox. Now I wanted to do some OCR and received the following screen:

Before, I used to use an Alpine Linux Docker container with the docker setup directly from Stirling PDF, and there the OCR was available.

Following the link displayed you find instructions to add the support for OCR.

An idea would be to allow the user of the script to choose the OCR components he wants

Applying the update script didn't help...

And applying the steps from the Stirling PDF documentation didn't help either:

root@stirling-pdf:~# apt install tesseract-ocr-deu tesseract-ocr-eng tesseract-ocr-fra

same issue here

So, it seems that the needed OCR data is in the wrong directory. On my LXC it is in /usr/share/tesseract-ocr/5 ...

A quick and dirty cp -r /usr/share/tesseract-ocr/5/* /usr/share/ did resolve it for me and the moment
