|
|
<h2 id="whats-the-general-plan-for-paperless-ngx"><em>What's the general plan for Paperless-ngx?</em></h2>
|
|
<p><strong>A:</strong> While Paperless-ngx is already considered largely
|
|
"feature-complete", it is a community-driven project and development
|
|
will be guided in this way. New features can be submitted via
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/discussions">GitHub discussions</a>
|
|
and "up-voted" by the community, but this is not a
|
|
guarantee that the feature will be implemented. This project will always be
|
|
open to collaboration in the form of PRs, ideas etc.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="im-using-docker-where-are-my-documents"><em>I'm using docker. Where are my documents?</em></h2>
|
|
<p><strong>A:</strong> By default, your documents are stored inside the docker volume
|
|
<code>paperless_media</code>. Docker manages this volume automatically for you. It
|
|
is a persistent storage and will persist as long as you don't
|
|
explicitly delete it. The actual location depends on your host operating
|
|
system. On Linux, chances are high that this location is</p>

<p>Do not mess with this folder. Don't change permissions and don't move

|
<h2 id="lets-say-i-want-to-switch-tools-in-a-year-can-i-easily-move-to-other-systems">Let's say I want to switch tools in a year. Can I easily move to other systems?</h2>
|
|
<p><strong>A:</strong> Your documents are stored as plain files inside the media folder.
|
|
You can always drag those files out of that folder to use them
|
|
elsewhere. Here are a couple notes about that.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Paperless-ngx never modifies your original documents. It keeps
|
|
checksums of all documents and uses a scheduled sanity checker to
|
|
check that they remain the same.</li>
|
|
<li>By default, paperless uses the internal ID of each document as its
|
|
filename. This might not be very convenient for export. However, you
|
|
can adjust the way files are stored in paperless by
|
|
<a href="../advanced_usage/#file-name-handling">configuring the filename format</a>.</li>
|
|
<li><a href="../administration/#exporter">The exporter</a> is
|
|
another easy way to get your files out of paperless with reasonable
|
|
file names.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h2 id="what-file-types-does-paperless-ngx-support"><em>What file types does paperless-ngx support?</em></h2>
|
|
<p><strong>A:</strong> Currently, the following files are supported:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>PDF documents, PNG images, JPEG images, TIFF images, GIF images and
|
|
WebP images are processed with OCR and converted into PDF documents.</li>
|
|
<li>Plain text documents are supported as well and are added verbatim to
|
|
paperless.</li>
|
|
<li>With the optional Tika integration enabled (see <a href="https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/configuration#tika">Tika configuration</a>),
|
|
Paperless also supports various Office documents (.docx, .doc, odt,
|
|
.ppt, .pptx, .odp, .xls, .xlsx, .ods).</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Paperless-ngx determines the type of a file by inspecting its content.
|
|
The file extensions do not matter.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="will-paperless-ngx-run-on-raspberry-pi"><em>Will paperless-ngx run on Raspberry Pi?</em></h2>
|
|
<p><strong>A:</strong> The short answer is yes. I've tested it on a Raspberry Pi 3 B.
|
|
The long answer is that certain parts of Paperless will run very slow,
|
|
such as the OCR. On Raspberry Pi, try to OCR documents before feeding
|
|
them into paperless so that paperless can reuse the text. The web
|
|
interface is a lot snappier, since it runs in your browser and paperless
|
|
has to do much less work to serve the data.</p>
|
|
<div class="admonition note">
|
|
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
|
|
<p>You can adjust some of the settings so that paperless uses less
|
|
processing power. See <a href="../setup/#less-powerful-devices">setup</a> for details.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<h2 id="how-do-i-install-paperless-ngx-on-raspberry-pi"><em>How do I install paperless-ngx on Raspberry Pi?</em></h2>
|
|
<p><strong>A:</strong> Docker images are available for arm64 hardware, so just
|
|
follow the <a href="https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/setup/#installation">Docker Compose instructions</a>. Apart from more required disk
|
|
space compared to a bare metal installation, docker comes with close to
|
|
zero overhead, even on Raspberry Pi.</p>
|
|
<p>If you decide to go with the bare metal route, be aware that some of
|
|
the python requirements do not have precompiled packages for ARM /
|
|
ARM64. Installation of these will require additional development
|
|
libraries and compilation will take a long time.</p>

<p>For ARMv7 (32-bit) systems, paperless may still function, but it could require
|
|
modifications to the Dockerfile (if using Docker) or additional
|
|
tools for installing bare metal. It is suggested to upgrade to arm64
|
|
instead.</p>

|
|
<p><strong>A:</strong> Paperless-ngx is available as <a href="https://unraid.net/community/apps?q=paperless-ngx">community
|
|
app</a> in Unraid. <a href="https://github.com/Tooa">Uli
|
|
Fahrer</a> created a container template for that.</p>

<h2 id="how-do-i-run-this-on-my-toaster"><em>How do I run this on my toaster?</em></h2>
|
|
<p><strong>A:</strong> I honestly don't know! As for all other devices that might be
|
|
able to run paperless, you're a bit on your own. If you can't run the
|
|
docker image, the documentation has instructions for bare metal
|
|
installs.</p>

<h2 id="how-do-i-proxy-this-with-nginx"><em>How do I proxy this with NGINX?</em></h2>
|
|
<p><strong>A:</strong> See <a href="https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/wiki/Using-a-Reverse-Proxy-with-Paperless-ngx#nginx">the wiki</a>.</p>

<h2 id="how-do-i-get-websocket-support-with-apache-mod_wsgi"><em>How do I get WebSocket support with Apache mod_wsgi</em>?</h2>
|
|
<p><strong>A:</strong> <code>mod_wsgi</code> by itself does not support ASGI. Paperless will
|
|
continue to work with WSGI, but certain features such as status
|
|
notifications about document consumption won't be available.</p>
|
|
<p>If you want to continue using <code>mod_wsgi</code>, you will have to run an
|
|
ASGI-enabled web server as well that processes WebSocket connections,
|
|
and configure Apache to redirect WebSocket connections to this server.
|
|
Multiple options for ASGI servers exist:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>gunicorn</code> with <code>uvicorn</code> as the worker implementation (the default
|
|
of paperless)</li>
|
|
<li><code>daphne</code> as a standalone server, which is the reference
|
|
implementation for ASGI.</li>
|
|
<li><code>uvicorn</code> as a standalone server</li>
|
|
</ul>

<h2 id="what-about-the-redis-licensing-change-and-using-one-of-the-open-source-forks"><em>What about the Redis licensing change and using one of the open source forks</em>?</h2>
|
|
<p>Currently (October 2024), forks of Redis such as Valkey or Redirect are not officially supported by our upstream
|
|
libraries, so using one of these to replace Redis is not officially supported.</p>
|
|
<p>However, they do claim to be compatible with the Redis protocol and will likely work, but we will
|
|
not be updating from using Redis as the broker officially just yet.</p>
