Enable Full-Text search for attachments?
Hello
Is it possible to enable a full-text search (FTS) for attachments (PDF, Text, Docx, …) using the open source dovecot server?
If so, how would I do that?
I've read https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/configuration_manual/fts/ but that wasn't clear to me.
Thanks,
Alexander

Install e.g. apache tika server and configure https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/settings/plugin/fts-plugin/#plugin_setting-fts-f...

Hello Aki and all,
Thanks a lot for the pointer to Tika. As I'm using mailcow and that's running in Docker containers, I'd like to run Tika also as a container. Tika also provides Docker Compose Examples @ https://github.com/apache/tika-docker/blob/main/README.md#docker-compose-exa..., but… Well… What do I use? :)
- docker-compose-tika-vision.yml - TensorFlow Inception REST API Vision examples
- docker-compose-tika-grobid.yml - Grobid REST parsing example
- docker-compose-tika-customocr.yml - Tesseract OCR example with custom configuration
- docker-compose-tika-ner.yml - Named Entity Recognition example
I suppose I'd need docker-compose-tika-customocr.yml, wouldn't I? This would then be this sample https://github.com/apache/tika-docker/blob/main/docker-compose-tika-customoc.... Should I tinker with that, or is the default good enough?
Thanks,
Alexander
