Ok I am new to this forum and I am only doing it in case there are more donkeys like me trying to seem cool and install complicated things. I spent some time trying to get this to work and because of simple mistakes it took me more than I'd like to admit, so I will put it as basic as possible. I'd like to thank CrashBrn for doing the hard work.
Step 1. create super user (make sure these settings match where you want your files to go)
Step 2 create web docker (make sure everything matches the command on top including paths, ports, passphrase etc
Step 3 so here is the part where you go to the docker ui, click add container, select paperless template. Change the name to paperless-consumer and make sure you switch from basic view to advanced view (top right button). Now fill it out exactly as it's mentioned in the original post by CrashBrn (second to last image). Again make sure you fill it out as you did in your first command and if all goes well you should have a proper paperless docker going on. test it as he mentions by adding a document in your consume folder.
If it didn't work, i suggest reviewing your commands, your template or simply starting from scratch and deleting the folders and docker containers created by your original command.
also, i suggest you think about where you want your paths to be. For me the original paths did not work because I wanted all my files to be in a personal folder that could later on be backed up separate from the database.
Anyone who feels my steps are wrong please feel free to comment and fix, thanks.
I am no expert, I am just a man who wanted his files scanned.
