Troubleshooting

Resolve connection, sign-in, and text-recognition problems.

The page does not load

Cause: cloud-init has not finished, or port 8443 is not forwarded.

Fix: wait for cloud-init, run the walkthrough as ubuntu, then forward port 8443 and open it over HTTPS. See Sign in.

Sign-in fails

Cause: the username or password does not match ~/.config/sushi/paddleocr/access.json on this instance.

Fix: read that file in the ubuntu session. Do not copy it into a ticket.

The shell command prints nothing useful

Cause: sushi-paddleocr-api ocr expects an image path. The listing's example is page.png.

Fix:

sushi-paddleocr-api ocr page.png

Use a PNG or JPEG. Other formats are outside the listing.

Boxes do not match the words you expected

Cause: the model returns a confidence score with each word. Low confidence is a result, not a tunnel failure.

Fix: compare the JSON word, score, and box with the image on the page. The listing does not document a threshold you can change.
