paperless ngx with install support for ocr lang, smb share

[Fischje]

I'd like to submet a feature for the paperless lxc script:

Is it possible to write down that you had to install some language packages for tesseract?
I had to install the german language package for ocr my documents.

i'd like some script help with setting up a smb share for windows 10 users. this was a pain doing after the script... maybee others could be helped with this?

1. We can't really know what language you're using and need OCR for. We have a option to use a metapackage tesseract-ocr-all and install ALL supported languages OR do as we do at the moment = just install a universal language, like english. Also, tesseract-ocr-all is one huge metapackage and it would require @MickLesk or someone to approve us putting that into our LXC script. Not only it will increase installed size, it would force installing languages that people really have no need for. I think it should stay like this and let users decide which OCR package they want installed.

1. We already install the standard tesseract-ocr and tesseract-ocr-eng part. Everything else is an optional installation, which should not really include the main script part. It is simply an oneliner apt-get install -y tesseract-ocr-en and then you add it in the UI or in the paperless.conf like here:

2. Samba setup is sometimes complicated, but actually quite simple. It often fails due to rights or the network connection to the server. Nobody can help explicitly, it's a try and error process.
