When it comes to self-hosting services, there’s always a question of whether deploying a local container is worth the extra hassle when you can just access cloud-based platforms. However, Vert is one instance where it’s always better to ditch the online apps for a containerized solution.
For starters, you’ll have to upload your documents to third-party servers when converting PDFs, JPGs, or other documents via online platforms. While many websites claim to delete your data after a specific span of time, there’s a huge privacy issue every time you send private files to an external server.
Interesting! It can convert images, audio, docs, video. Normally I would just use CLIs for this type of thing, but actually I could see this being handy for non-techies in the household.
