Quick fix for sudden stops in document classification
-
In January, I noticed that automatic classification for documents had stopped on two of my Paperless instances. I didn't have time to fix it, so I resorted to manual interaction.
Now, I looked into the logs and found the following message:System status detected a possible problem while loading the classifier: Classifier file does not exist (yet). Re-training may be pending.
This specific error made it easy to search the internet for a solution.In the official docs, I found information about Managing the Automatic matching algorithm.
Additionally, the Cloudron documentation provided the syntax for using the console: Cloudron Paperless-NGX Docs.Fixing the issue is actually quite simple:
- Open the console of your paperless app and run
cd /app/code/src python3 manage.py document_create_classifier- Wait a few seconds/minutes
- For new documents, automatic classification should work as expected.
For older documents, there is an action itemwhich does not work as expected.reprocess
The reason why document classification stopped in the first place remains unknown.
