    Paperless for indexing and archiving scanned paper documents.

    It supports Docker, see documentation.

    This app was forked and now maintained at https://github.com/jonaswinkler/paperless-ng

        This looks to be packaged already: https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/paperless-app

        Is there any reason why it is not published in the appstore?

          I notice it's been 15 months since the last upstream release

            @Hillside502 The author says it is feature-complete ("I am no longer doing new development on Paperless as it does exactly what I need it to" - https://github.com/the-paperless-project/paperless). However, it should be working.

              I'd appreciate it. Paperless has the potential to replace the Scansnap cloud. I have the matching Fujitsu IX 500 scanner.

                      @bubonicfred I am starting to package this fork since I am stuck on Papermerge. Hopefully this one will be a bit more cooperative. Will post link when I get something resembling functional.

                        @doodlemania2 My initial commit is here: https://git.cloudron.io/doodlemania2/paperless-ng

                        THIS DOES NOT YET WORK

                        But - I need to do these things and I think it's done:

                        1. sed in the environment variables to the config
                        2. create the start.sh (with #1 above)
                        3. setup the three services in systemd

                        I've done all of the above previously, I just am short on time, so, if anyone can give me an assist, would greatly appreciate it! If not, will continue just as quick as I can.

                          @doodlemania2 latest checkin has the start.sh and systemd files getting checked in. Still iterating as time permits.

                            @doodlemania2 Latest checking (simple one tonight) - I switched from supervisor to the build in gunicorn runner and was able to create a username/password and log in! Woot

                            Now, it's throwing errors about attempt to write to a read only database, so I suspect the auth mechanism is doing something in /app/code that I'll need to symlink.
                            After that is:
                            Get the supervisors to work (some weird ini file error)
                            Test the app
                            Cleanup
                            Final commit before handing it off for cloudron test dev in case anyone wants to see it in the app store.

                                This app is now up and functional. Please test! I'll submit to the appstore for WIP in a day or so after some more cleanup and testing.

                                https://git.cloudron.io/doodlemania2/paperless-ng/

                                Note: inbound mail is enabled, but you have to configure it yourself in paperless config. I haven't tested that yet and from the looks of the repo, there are lots of issues with mail at the moment, so we may ship unstable without inbound mail.

                                  @doodlemania2 just an fyi - this is working well, but the "consumption" directory isn't polling so still tinkering with that. I am able to upload manually and auto tagging and pdf extraction is working. so, we're about 95% there I think.

                                      @doodlemania2 Very excited about your efforts on this! I appreciate you, sir! I'm a vanilla PHP and JS developer for the most part, so node, docker, manifests, build scripts, all of it gets a little sketchy if I'm the one on it. I would love to learn how to package Cloudron apps, though. Maybe I'll have a look at some of the material that's available on that here later.
                                      I have been aching for a good document management system with user permissions for probably the last 12 months or so.

                                        @girish - I'm officially stuck. The app is ready and I think the tests might even work except for the consumption directory.

                                        Described my issue here: https://github.com/jonaswinkler/paperless-ng/issues/438.

                                        Tried moving the supervisors around, nothing.

                                        If I run the consume script from shell, works like a champ. Open to ideas.

                                          @doodlemania2 Is that a periodic job? Even if not, could we just hack around it with a small caveat by using the shell command and scheduler add-on? It'd be a minor thing, I think, for the Cloudron package to run an "every minute" or something consumption
