The gotenberg chromium route is used to convert .eml files. We do not
want to allow external content like tracking pixels or even javascript.
command:
- "gotenberg"
- "--chromium-disable-javascript=true"
- "--chromium-allow-list=file:///tmp/.*"

tika:
image: ghcr.io/paperless-ngx/tika:latest
container_name: paperless-ngx-tika
restart: unless-stopped
