How to make wagtail_textract work with Media Storage Backend

[danieltomasku]

Hi there,

I am trying to use wagtail_textract for my project. I tried previously using just textract but am interested in some of the helper utilities of wagtail_textract. I am wondering how wagtail_textract will work in production with Docker and a Media Storage backend, such as Azure.

The line here is referencing a file path: text = textract.process(document.file.path).strip()

but when in production using a Media Storage backend, it seems like this will fail because it does not have a proper file system. Has this been tested or does anybody know how I might be able to get this to work? Any help would be much appreciated! Let me know if you need any more info about my project setup.
