Alternative CDN or self hosting

[CodingPeak]

Yesterday unpkg CDN was down. Can you provide a version that doesn't rely on unpkg's availability? Is it possible to host the javascript files ourselves?

@CodingPeak I tried multiple ways of importing, it all works, so I download the latest ".min.js" file mentioned in Installation - CDN, and directly use it in my code.

The use of unpkg is just a result of using the default arguments. You can host everything yourself--this is explained here.

In short, the 3 relevant arguments are workerPath, langPath, and corePath. By default these are set to fetch code/data from unpkg, however you can change them to anything else (including a location on your site you are hosting them).

I believe this requires having a nodejs environment, which I don't want to set up. Is there no way to just download the required files? A built version of the files? Most projects have a dist folder, but can't find that here. I don't want to be dependent on the availability of a CDN.

You can just download the files once from the CDN (the paths are specified in the article I linked) and host them yourself. For example the current version of worker.min.js is here: https://unpkg.com/tesseract.js@v4.0.3/dist/worker.min.js.
