Decision brief
docs is a lightweight document management system that offers comprehensive functionalities including OCR and media conversion tools, accessible via Docker.
Good fit when
- Use docs when you require an open-source solution with the capabilities of high-end document management systems but prefer something lightweight.
- Opt for it if your project needs self-hosting options alongside cloud-based features such as file-sharing and workflow support.
Avoid when
- Do not use docs in environments where strict security protocols are necessary, as default configurations like the 'admin' password must be changed manually before production.
- Avoid this tool if your document management needs can't tolerate occasional instability during development or when you need a highly reliable and stable environment throughout.
- Requirements:
- Requires Docker; Requires Java 11, Tesseract 4 for OCR, ffmpeg for video thumbnails, mediainfo for video metadata extraction.
