Stirling PDF — Locally hosted web application that allows you to perform various operations on PDF files

[niels]

From the README:

"This is a powerful locally hosted web based PDF manipulation tool using docker that allows you to perform various operations on PDF files, such as splitting merging, converting, reorganizing, adding images, rotating, compressing, and more. This locally hosted web application started as a 100% ChatGPT-made application and has evolved to include a wide range of features to handle all your PDF needs.

Stirling PDF makes no outbound calls for any record keeping or tracking.

All files and PDFs are either purely client side, in server memory only during the execution of the task or within a temporay file only for execution of the task."

Very nice find. That should be easy to package.

[Kubernetes]

I am working on a package now.

[necrevistonnezr]

Looks great!

[Kubernetes]

Okay, my initial package is done and pushed to my repo https://git.cloudron.io/kubernetes/cloudron-stirling-pdf

This version is without OCR features

[necrevistonnezr]

Awesome!
Leaving out OCR (is is Tesseract or OCRmyPDF?) - for technical reasons?

@necrevistonnezr said in Stirling PDF — Locally hosted web application that allows you to perform various operations on PDF files:

Tesseract or OCRmyPDF?

github repo suggests OCRmyPDF

[Kubernetes]

@necrevistonnezr ah, I just didn't have enough time yesterday to follow the OCR instructions for the initial package

[Kubernetes]

Package is cleaned up to install only required software. Includes OCRmyPDF now.

[girish]

@Kubernetes Can you please put in a LICENSE?

[Kubernetes]

@girish Done

[necrevistonnezr]

@Kubernetes -.. you’re on fire!

[Kubernetes]

@necrevistonnezr Thank you

that one was just too easy to package

[timconsidine]

@Kubernetes still takes effort, so thank you

Who is in charge of 'labelling' members?
I propose that @Kubernetes is given the appdev label.
Anyone to second the motion ?

[girish]

@Kubernetes awesome! I have published as unstable. I am still working on the repo and various minor things.

[girish]

@Kubernetes you are in app-dev group. But I think you have to do something in your profile for the badge to show up. @timconsidine do you remember?

[Kubernetes]

@girish Thank you and @timconsidine , I feel very honored

I had to configure in the badge in my profile, it is visible now. Thanks

[girish]

@Kubernetes The app is super useful. I just used it to re-order a 20 page pdf. I used to mess around with print dialog and pdfunite in the past for this! Maybe you can let the upstream project know that it's listed here. The package repo is https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/stirling-pdf-app and you should have permissions.

Good idea, I started a discussion in the github repo of Stirling-PDF
