tesseract-ocrHow can I use Tesseract OCR with Kubernetes?

Tesseract OCR can be used with Kubernetes by setting up a Tesseract Pod on the Kubernetes cluster. This will allow Tesseract to be used as a service within the cluster.

The following example code block will create a Tesseract Pod on a Kubernetes cluster:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: tesseract
spec:
  containers:
    - name: tesseract
      image: tesseract
      ports:
        - containerPort: 8080

This code will create a Pod named 'tesseract' using the tesseract image. The Pod will expose port 8080, which can be used for communication with the Tesseract service.

Once the Pod is created, it can be used to run Tesseract OCR commands. For example, to run the Tesseract OCR command on an image, the following command can be used:

kubectl exec -it tesseract -- tesseract <image-file> <output-file>

This command will run the Tesseract OCR command on the specified image file and output the results to the specified output file.
