Running "Locally"

[skyler14]

Multiple Questions:
What are the resources recommend/required for local extraction?

When running locally can you provide us the option to expose a port and receive POST requests? That way we can have an on prem machine that can work interchangeably with your API for client machines.

Hi @skyler14, I have not yet tested minimum requirements for local extraction. If it helps -- I got it working on a 4 GB machine with no GPU. A GPU is highly recommended for video and audio files.

As for setting up a local REST API to send POST requests to, this is not on the roadmap at the moment -- you can do this yourself with Python API frameworks such as Flask or FastAPI
