    @neurokrish @nebulon I tried this method earlier, but it didn't work.

    My paperless.conf file:

    @wisemetalhead according to the docs, the PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGES option should be configured in docker-compose.env and not in paperless.conf. Perhaps @nebulon can help here..

      @neurokrish I have to try this here myself, since the Cloudron app package has nothing to do with their upstream docker image, the default self-hosting config docs would apply instead, so https://paperless-ng.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration.html?highlight=languages#ocr-settings

        @nebulon then may be a standard apt-get install for additional language packs is the way to go?

        May be we can install all OCR languages by default using sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr-all as mentioned here. This way, the app has all languages installed by default and users can choose a specific language by modifying the PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGE flag in paperless.conf.

          @neurokrish thanks for the suggestion, at least it solved the issue for me with a deu+eng setting. The just updated package v0.7.0 has those changes.

                @neurokrish tesseract has a Docker file and it would be nice to support Tesseract on Cloudron.

                    @LoudLemur tesseract is already installed in the package though.

                      The thread here (and this forum) is about the Cloudron package of paperless-ngx . It looks like you are using docker installation. You have to take this up with the upstream project. Cloudron also uses docker but it does not use the upstream dockerfiles.
