Using Tesseract and Poppler in Render

1

Hey,
I’m developing my first Webapp while previously i did only write Python Code for myself.
I’d now like to publish my Webapp written in flask. It uses Poppler and Tesseract for text extraction from uploaded PDFs. On my Desktop I just link to my Files and it does all the heavy lifting itself.
How would I deploy it here on Render?
As of now I did create a Git where Poppler and Tesser are but I’m unable to let Render pull from there to run my PDF Extraction.

Kind regards from Germany,
Lukas

Hi there,

If Poppler and/or Tesser are system/OS level dependencies you will need to use Docker to get them installed onto the service. Otherwise, just add them as normal dependencies and ensure they get installed via the build command.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Regards,
Mike
