I have to admit I am so very tired of Adobe Acrobat. I hate how much it costs to provide so little to you. I really wish it would go the way of Adobe Flash and the dinosaurs. I came across Stirling-PDF and think this would be an amazing replacement for Acrobat.

Verify Prerequisites

They don't list any requirements and it looks like it is going to be a straightforward Docker container setup.

Install Stirling-PDF

Steps performed on TEST-01

• sudo mkdir /apps/Stirling-PDF
• sudo nano /apps/Stirling-PDF/docker-compose.yml

version: '3.3'
services:
  stirling-pdf:
    image: frooodle/s-pdf:latest
    ports:
      - '8080:8080'
    volumes:
      - /location/of/trainingData:/usr/share/tesseract-ocr/5/tessdata #Required for extra OCR languages
      - /location/of/extraConfigs:/configs
#      - /location/of/customFiles:/customFiles/
#      - /location/of/logs:/logs/
    environment:
      - DOCKER_ENABLE_SECURITY=false

• I saved the file docker-compose.yml
• sudo docker-compose pull
• sudo docker-compose up -d

Super easy! Testing in Firefox at http://test1.domain.local:8080 is working. So nice and straight forward. I don't believe I would have any need to access this from outside of home so I don't really need to worry about external access. So I think I'll test some files tomorrow and if things are working well, then it would be quick and easy to copy the .yml over to DOCKER-01.
