@prologic @lin Could my instance of LibreTranslate help with building a prototype?

Of an integration with a "translation" service? 🤔 Yes I _think_ so... What was it like standing that thing up? What's it's tech stack? Resource requirements? etc

@prologic I'd have to do some benchmarking to answer that properly -- under normal and peak usage, etc. -- but, as it stands, it's negligible, in a Docker container, behind NGINX.

@jlj Cool link me to the project and can you share your container setup for it? 🤔

@prologic Sure thing!\n\nI just use the defaults at: https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate#run-with-docker\n\nBut they offer a number of customisations as well.

$ docker images | grep libretranslate

And:


Updating language models
Found 42 models
Downloading Arabic → English (1.0) ...
Downloading Chinese → English (1.1) ...
Downloading Dutch → English (1.4) ...
Downloading English → Arabic (1.0) ...


... This is a rather expensive piece of infa. How long did it take to download all the language models? Can they be downloaded and store in a volume? 🤔 The image size itself is insane 😱

@prologic Oops. Forgot that. Yeah, there's build instructions for offline deployment, where you grab all that beforehand. But it's big regardless, I guess. 😛

@prologic Uh... Well, to start, docker stats on the container returns:\n\nCONTAINER ID NAME CPU % MEM USAGE / LIMIT MEM % NET I/O BLOCK I/O PIDS\neb3740950384 clever_maxwell 0.01% 73.93MiB / 15.52GiB 0.47% 3.81GB / 108MB 1.17GB / 0B 53\n\nIt's been up for two weeks with minimal usage afaik.
