brother-scan

This tool is alternative to the brscan-skey with automatic document feeder support and compressed PDF output.

(This tutorial is meant for a Debian 11 (Bullseye) system) Behavior on other versions might be different.

Before setting up:

Be root
Run:

apt-get -y upgrade; apt-get -y update;
apt-get -y screen;

Install docker (if not installed already) (These commands are all copy-pastable)

Run:

apt-get -y upgrade; apt-get -y update;
apt-get install -y ca-certificates curl;
install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings;
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc;
chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc;

echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian \
  $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | \
  tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null;
apt-get update;
apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin;

Finally, run the instant setup script:

chmod +x start_scanner
./start_scanner
