Summary:
paperless-gpt seamlessly pairs with paperless-ngx to automatically generate AI-powered document titles, tags, and correspondents. It leverages powerful LLMs (OpenAI or Ollama) to supercharge OCR accuracy, making even low-quality scans searchable and organized. It supports multiple OCR backends including Google Document AI, Azure Document Intelligence, and a self-hosted Docling server. Integrated into a simple web UI, it offers both automated and manual review modes.

Notes: enhance to post-processing of invoices or receipts

• Saves hours of manual sorting and naming
• Open-source and highly customizable
• Perfect for users already running paperless-ngx
• Uses LLMs for OCR, which can be heavy on compute/GPU resources

Would be an amazing productivity boost if easily deployable via Cloudron alongside paperless-ngx

Cloudron has proven to be stable over years.

Therefore, an app selected by cloudron is a kind of "quality seal".

If a (Github) Project had a "packaged by Cloudron" this may have a promotional effect for Cloudron: users may become curious and may end up as customers of Cloudron.

It could start with an low effort "verification" page on a cloudron domain, which shows that the app is actually packed. Even more low effort, the appstore link could be used.
Additionally, it would be good to have a hint in the app packaging doc: "you can create a badge like that:..."

Be integrated into the Cloudron packaging pipeline to automate badge assignment on successful builds and tests. A reliable, persistent badge would act like a "verified publisher" or quality seal widely trusted for years, reassuring users about app stability and Cloudron support.

Happy for any other comments, since I am not that deeply into the publisher game on Github and other platforms.

https://journey.cloud offers a feature rich journalling esp. for personal experiences.

There seem to be a Docker file already available:

Thanks! For now, rclone seems to be most promising.
Syncthing doesn't fit my needs, because it has no S3 API, mentioning it for future reference.

And btw, rclone GUI is on the wishlist.

Thanks! I was hesitant to use Nextcloud Talk initially since Cloudron is raising awareness about third party Nextcloud apps.

Checking it, thanks everyone!

Distributing of PGP keys was painful or not effective. Web Key Directory (WKD) is solving this by providing the public key umder the actual domain.

It is described in detail here:
https://wiki.gnupg.org/WKD
(Alternatively, there is also the Web Key Service)

It would be nice if this could be added next to the other well-known location fields.

For reference: there is already an instance of this wish in App list:
https://forum.cloudron.io/post/23272

However, I don't think a separate App is required.

Thanks of this nice product, cloudron

This topic can be marked as closed. I decided to buy an instance with more memory and it worked well.

@girish More update on this: I found a discussion how to change the Admin in the DB directly. Seems to be the solution with less pain.

Role = 1 should to do the trick in the user table

https://github.com/firefly-iii/firefly-iii/discussions/5295

(Maybe the title of this thread is more about "How to change the admin user")

Use Case:
When changing the backup provider in Cloudron, there may be existing archived apps. These are stored in the old backup location.

Current Issue:
The existing process requires users to manually move all existing backup files, including those of archived apps, to the new backup storage. There is a major risk that the archived app backups get forgotten or lost because this is not prominently shown. Especially since these backups are "silently" referenced by config files.

Feature Suggestion:
I propose adding an automatic migration feature or, at minimum, a warning/notification system during the backup provider change if archived app backups exist.

Reasoning:
Such a feature would help prevent accidental loss of archived backups, improve usability, and reduce manual work during critical backup provider changes.

This feature could also tie in with the recently discussed Backup integrity - store size and checksum of backups.

Thank you

I was able to solve the issue by stopping the nextcloud app and afterwards rebooting the Cloudron Server. After the Cloudron Server came up again, I waited for a grace period and started the Nextcloud App afterwards again.

It should be mentioned that the reboot of the server took exceptionally long, more than 45 min. I didn't investigate the root cause.

This topic can be marked as solved.

Yes, I got the error mentioned before on a newly created backup without encryption. The tarball was around 13 GB.

I was only able to restore backups older than 1 month for the nextcloud app. For all other 12+ apps restoring did work like a charme for the most recent backup (younger than 1 month).

It gives me the impression that the CIFS with Hetzner Storagebox is a risky choice.
Therefore, a hint in the docs might be saving some lives of other folks.

I would like to offer 2 additional feedbacks beyond the CIFS issue and the docs:

1. it seems to be not possible to use the decryption command line cloudron command with a password that includes special characters. I tried to escape with " but it didn't work. Probably sth to document. Maybe there is a way to escape after all.
2. Is there any way to do backup validation? It is probably concerning to see successful backups while they are corrupt.

And thanks a lot for the support @girish and @nebulon for pointing me in the right direction! I resolved it by choosing a different cloud provider and different storage protocol. I used S3 now. Backing up and restoring worked with encryption completely fine!
Thank you!

Hopefully it will not appear with any storage anymore when this is implemented:

(9.0) Backup integrity - store size and checksum of backups. Also provide a way to "verify" backup integrity in the remote.

what's coming in cloudron 9

@james I had opened a ticket at that time with Hetzner. Sending you the ticket number as pm

Thank you for the response and test.
I changed the identifier in the client and added it on the server. Also removed the device with the old identifier. The error is gone. Really surprising for me.

Still having the issue that no device is showing. Tried few things, like changing the port, domain, and checked the firewall.

For the sake of this threat, can be closed I guess, since it seems to be a conffig error.

@timconsidine Got it. Should I close this thread until then?

@girish Yes, Thunderbird supports WKD.

From the Thunderbird FAQs it is explained like this:

Currently, it will search for published keys using the WKD protocol, and it will search for keys in the keys.openpgp.org keyserver.

Slightly off-topic, but related:
Provider posteo also offers to publish public Keys via wkd, as described in this FAQ:

https://posteo.de/en/help/easygpg-how-do-i-publish-my-public-pgp-key-in-posteos-key-directory-via-web-key-directory-wkd

Thank you for the fast answer!

Okay, interesting. I just realized that the AWS Market Place image is still on version 7.2.4

Is there any way to downgrade my current instance version?
Or is it possible to upgrade Cloudron before configuring?
Or does the Cloudron instance also update itself periodically without being configured?

Your hint helped me to find the root cause, thanks

If an app is not ready yet, should I delete it from the wishlist? Just added journey.cloud to the list, but discovered they are still working on it

The main advantage of using Cloudron's storage over managing backups with a provider like DigitalOcean directly is simplicity and convenience. Cloudron could offer a storage solution that’s already configured for you, so there’s no need to mess with setting things up yourself. It’s essentially a one-click solution: everything’s integrated seamlessly within Cloudron.

Yes, you could handle backups directly with DO or other providers, but having Cloudron manage the backup configuration can save time and reduce the potential for errors. You don't have to worry about ensuring all the settings are right: Cloudron takes care of it, and if anything goes wrong, their support has a better idea of the setup. For someone who values ease of use, that could justify the markup.

While Cloudron may not offer more control over issues related to the provider itself, the advantage lies in reducing your manual workload. You’re essentially paying for that added convenience and peace of mind.
