ocrserver

Simple OCR server, as a small working sample for gosseract.

This fork contains a modified version, updated for Go 1.26, gosseract v2.4.1, and Tesseract v5, running on Alpine instead of Debian. It also hosts the image on ghcr.io instead of docker hub due to rate limits, with support for both arm64 and amd64/x86.
