Paperless - indexing and archiving scanned documents

[scooke]

@doodlemania2 Keep up the good work!

[absnt_mind]

@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

[doodlemania2]

@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!

[jimcavoli]

@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

[doodlemania2]

@jimcavoli alrighty - that seems to have worked (running it with cloudron scheduler). now just need someone to help me with tests and it can ship!

@doodlemania2 I marked this as WIP now! Great progress.

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

[doodlemania2]

@ultraviolet would you send me a PR? I'd be delighted to merge those in!

[ultraviolet]

@doodlemania2 sure next time I am at a desk I will send you a PR

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.

[ultraviolet]

@girish yup that is me thanks!

[ultraviolet]

@doodlemania2 sent you a PR

[doodlemania2]

@ultraviolet Merged! That's fantastic - great work!!!

[ultraviolet]

@doodlemania2 thanks, I may send you another PR in a day or so hit a few walls with the proxyauth.

[girish]

@ultraviolet @doodlemania2 Per https://github.com/jonaswinkler/paperless-ng/discussions/654, it seems if someone knows some python we can add proper ldap support.

[doodlemania2]

@girish oooo shiny! @ultraviolet -- that you?

[timconsidine]

@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 ?

[timconsidine]

@timconsidine Seems last was my noob issue.
The dashboard clears eventually and tags can be retro-applied with

root@<app-instance>:/app/code/src# python3 manage.py document_retagger -T

New Q : I'm looking to add schedule tasks but cannot see in doc a list of task.function. Is there one available?
