@neurokrish tesseract has a Docker file and it would be nice to support Tesseract on Cloudron.

According to this Paperless-NG doc page, there's an app for iOS called QuickScan which lets you take a picture of your document and have it saved to "your favorite location". I just tried the app and I like it so far. I'm trying to connect it to my NextCloud via WebDav but my credentials aren't working. Do I need a specific plugin for Nextcloud or something?

Below is a screenshot of the app's integration options.

Thanks for reporting this. The docs link in the manifest file was outdated due to the move to paperless-ngx. The link is https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/paperless-ngx/ and will be fixed with the next app release.

@timconsidine ah, good job narrowing it down! maybe you can report it upstream with the problematic pdf.

Very cool - time to play with this little gem I think.

This issue can be closed now. The document_exporter and document_importer commands are working well. I just had to define paths correctly in the container.

@nebulon thank you

@FeelNiceInc in terms of security vulnerability of the system, I trust in the open source community review and collaborative effort. Of course, there is always a risk. But I tend to trust open source solution more than a proprietary one.
You could set up a small Cloudron box or docker box at home if this is a concern for you, and if you're remote from it, use VPN and IP black-list / white-list.

I use Bitarden (vaultwarden) and trust that. OK, data is encrypted there. I haven't checked about Paperless and encryption. Must go and do that out of interest.

EDIT : there used to be support for encryption https://paperless-ng.readthedocs.io/en/latest/administration.html#enabling-encryption. But it is deprecated and not advised for reasons explained.

@neurokrish thank you !

EDIT : jeez, isn't Paperless-NG awesome !

@doodlemania2 thank you for sharing your experience. Since I started to add all personal documents, I wanted to be sure that things will work as intended. Love Cloudron, it's amazing!

@girish all good, thank you.

Sorry, had to run the command as python3. Mark this as resolved!

@doodlemania2 I was looking for some further information on this.

Paperless-ng uses Tika (to extract data from other file types) and Gotenberg (for pdf conversion) for this.
