Thanks @jbarlow83 and @bernmic for all the work!

ocrmypdf-watchdog

This is a simple watchdog for OCRMyPDF (and maybe others). It watches a given folder for new files with definable extensions and runs then ocrmypdf (or another command) to convert files to pdf.

Docker

The Dockerfile creates an image based on the jbarlow83/ocrmypdf image and adds the watchdog.

The docker-compose creates a container from the image. The first time it has to be started with the --build flag to build the image:

docker-compose up --build

There are 2 volumes: /in and /out The docker-compose.yml shows how to use them.

docker push samvdb/ocrmypdf-watchdog:latest

Environment

The watchdog looks for the following environment variables:

OCRMYPDF_IN
OCRMYPDF_OUT
OCRMYPDF_BINARY
OCRMYPDF_PARAMETER
WATCHDOG_EXTENSIONS
WATCHDOG_FREQUENCY

Parameters

The watchdog accepts the following parameters:

--in
--out
--frequency <in seconds)
--ocrmypdf
