    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

              @jimcavoli That's a fabulous idea - I will give that a try - it uses inotify on the FS to monitor for changes (intended to always run), but this could be a fabulous workaround! ON IT!

                @doodlemania2 Sure thing! Also, didn't know it was inotify under the hood - that has a fraught history with dockerized runtimes, so this is likely your best option anyway 🙂

                      hi all,

                      I was actually working on this a few weeks ago. I forked @doodlemania2's repo and updated it to the latest version. I also enabled SFTP access I am also working to implement the proxyauth addon to pass though to the django app (still wip) as it does not support LDAP natively.

                      I don't have access to fork in the cloudron gitlab so I had to copy to my github account. You can find the repo here:
                      https://github.com/campbellmcgregor/paperless-ng-cloudron

                      thanks

                            Whoops, sorry about that. By default, accounts cannot fork since we get too much spam. I assume you are https://git.cloudron.io/admin/users/ultraviolet ? I have increased the project limit already.

                                          @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 great work, thank you for making this available.
                                          I built (very smooth) and installed on my Cloudron.
                                          As a noob to paperless-ng, I am not sure what is needed for "processing".
                                          I uploaded few documents to test and they seem stuck in 'processing' in dashboard view.
                                          A tag and correspondent don't seem to get auto-applied.
                                          Is this functionality working ?
                                          Do I need to do something ?
