Thank you, it's working perfectly now!

Hi there, I'm stuck with the same problem. How did you change the ip? Which command do I have to use.

Thanks  you

Really like the Paperless-ng setup, could be very powerful when properly integrated into my workflow.

One thing I would really like is to enable it to process the common Office file format and other commonly used file formats like RTF.

The documentation mentions the TIKA and GOTENBERG dockers to process these files.

Have been trying to set this up but unfortunately my IT skills seem to fall short here ...

Has anybody else got this up and running?

It seems like you need to run a Tika and/or Gotenberg server and then change some environment variables in your paperless container. What issues do you have?

https://paperless-ng.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration.html#tika-settings

Got paperless-ng up and running with Tika and Gotenberg, really nice!

 

Does anybody know if you can use parts of the document's filename to tag?

 

For anyone using this be sure to choose the correct Redis container in the CA store. I was having issues with paperless not connecting to my redis container (even though i set the ip correctly in paperless) and found out the redis i was using was not working. The one that ended up working for me was the one by jj9987

And what container did not work? I use sameersbn/redis and it works fine as far as I can tell.

Paperless-ng stops working after a while...

 

So added a lot of documents to Paperless-ng via the dashboard upload and also via my email where I set it up to scan for all document for the last year.

All worked fine until Paperless-ng just stopped doing anything. I can still drag&drop files to the dashboard where it says "upload complete, waiting..." for all those files. CPU is also idling on the Paperless-ng container and all other related container (redis, tika and gotenberg). The Paperless-ng tmp folder (which I remapped to the appdata folder because it so big) is full with temp folders and files but nothing is happening.

Restarted all the containers to see if that would work but it didn't.

The paperless-ng log files also don't show any activity since yesterday, even though I forced it to perform the scheduled tasks "now".

So really don't know what to do now... Any suggestions?

Is there any way to force Paperless-ng back to life? Except a clean reinstall?

 

So after more than 24hrs of no activity Paperless-ng resumed the processing of documents. It still occasionally seems frozen with 0% CPU activity for shorter periods while the queue is filled with thousand of documents.

Hi,

 

I just got Paperless set up and I can't upload any documents through the Web UI. The upload just times out and I get a "Connection Reset" in the browser console and "HTTP Error 0" on the upload progress bar. In the container logs I see:

 

[2021-04-13 22:43:22,109] [WARNING] [django.request] Method Not Allowed: /api/documents/post_document/

 

Any ideas of what to adjust?

Are you connecting directly through the port of paperless or a reverse proxy? I'm not sure but perhaps check the settings could be that it is disabled for your account (but I'm no expert so I'm not sure if that exists).

I’m connecting directly. The only change I have from a default setup is that the container is running on a VLAN but I don’t see how that should affect anything? 

Edited April 14, 20215 yr by Adam1

A vlan should have no effect, a reverse proxy might do something with uploads.

 

You also never see the "Upload completed"?

Correct, the progress bar never moves and the upload fails. I’m not using a reverse proxy on this container.

Hm sorry I don't have a clue perhaps someone else. I assume the container has already been restarted? You can confirm if the directory is writeable for the uploaded files (although the message looks like it already stops before that but I don't know the source). Or perhaps check the paperless github to submit a bug report there.

I've tried different Redis images (just in case) but still have the same problem; That is, everything works fine initially, then when I come back to it the following day it no longer works. Paperless correctly detects a new file in the watch folder and the log shows it has added it to the task queue, but nothing else happens unless I restart the paperless-ng container. I do not need to restart the redis container to get it working again, just the paperless-ng one.

Has anyone found a solution for this? TIA

The supporting documentation states the following and I am wondering if others in the community have been able to get this amazing software to work with MS Office documents:

 

"Paperless can make use of Tika and Gotenberg for parsing and converting “Office” documents (such as “.doc”, “.xlsx” and “.odt”)"

Error 500 when upoading via the WebUI

 

EDIT:
The Error was because i was using the wrong Redis Docker. With jj9987's Repository it worked.
 

Hello i always get a 500 internal server error when trying to upload a fiIe.
I installed and started a Redis docker(bitnami/redis:latest) changend the [IP] in PAPERLESS_REDIS: with the IP from the server. And the Logs are the following when trying to upload a File.

It seems that you have redis setup with a password? Did you set that up correctly?

Hi

I Need help with Paperless. I have scannt for testing few Documents. Its works fine. Then i want to simulate a Software crash  from Paperless to see what i do in worth case.

i installed it new. But he didnt find the documents after reinstall. I set it the same directory like before.

How i can import the database? Sorry i am from Germany . My english is not so good.

Generic paperless-ng question: 

 

I currently have a large number of PDFs that I'm just storing in folders.  Example:

 

\Autos

\Autos\Car1

\Autos\Car2

\Finance

\Finance\Bank1

\Finance\Bank2

\Taxes

\Taxes\2020

\Taxes\2019

....

 

Many of the PDFs are OCR already but some are not.  I'm looking for a way to ingest all of my PDF/documents and make them all easier to search and retain some sort of structure as above.  Windows search is pathetically slow or cumbersome to search PDFs and since I don't know if all of them are OCR, it can easily miss.

 

Would paperless-ng be a good solution to handle this?  Would I create correspondents for each of my "folders" and/or "subfolder names"?  How much training will I have to do?  And can I just manually drag them to these identifiers?  For instance, I normally need to grab all of documents related to a tax year.  I don't want to have to go fishing for the documents.

 

Trying to figure out a good workflow before going headlong into a new document management process.  

 

Also, it appears that if I drag PDFs into paperless-ng, that it creates a whole new PDF from the original, thus almost doubling the size of my library.    Should I just turn off archiving?  Will I still be able to search the PDFs?  or should I (can I) have paperless-ng OCR the file and overwrite the original if it did not contain OCR text already?

 

Looking for guidance.  Cheers.

I would suggest to just try it out. I use labels yes to manage it but the search is also great so I don't really use the labels to find my documents

 

It seems you can use the "skip_noarchive" to skip doubling it if it contains text but I have no experience with that https://paperless-ng.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration.html#configuration-ocr

Just starting out with Paperless-ng in home/non-commercial environment.  Running on a Multi-core dual processor along with lots of memory.  So resource constraints is not an issue.

 

I've gone through the initial setup and able to access the Web UI for the paperless-ng.  Now, before I start adding documents I would like to make sure that I have the optimal setup.  Following are some of my questions:

• For home use, is it better to stay with the default SQLLite database or should I consider Postgres?
• For a family of four, what's the ideal setup in terms of user setup?  Spouse and I would like to have a common documents and consume directory while the kids should have their own. 
• I'm going through the documentation which is excellent!  However, reading through it does take time.  Wondering if there's a Video that shows a typical usecase/scenario of setting up multi-user/group environment along with setting up document tags, types, etc.

Many thanks.

Hey there,

 

I'm a bit desprate here with my paperless installation here.

I run it on Unraid and here is what I did so far, but always ending up in internal Server Error 500 while trying to upload a file as well as my consumefolder is still untouched so far:

Installed docker container of paperless ng

installed redis by jj9987 wit the correct port

changed OCR to deu, changed secret key, changed port to 8001 (8000 is already in use)

added a paperless.conf file in swag with following content

Quote

    listen 443 ssl;
    listen [::]:443 ssl;

    server_name mordorpaper.*;

    include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;

        set $upstream_port 8001;
        set $upstream_proto http;
        proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;

        
    }

}

restarted all of the dockers

 

 

Where am I missing the obvoius?

Thanks

What if you access paperless directly and not through a reverse proxy. Does it work then? If so the issue is not with paperless.

 

And about the consume: is there anything in the logs?

Yes the obvoius... the logs (sorry new to unraid always forget there are logs)

So Problem was that I defined the redis IP in the paperless docker to look upon the very same docker... so my mistake.

 

Thank you for the hint!

 

Anybody got a good recommendation for a free document scanner under android to get good resultst with paperless?

 

 

Paperless has its own app. But I use Microsoft Lens (free) as it also supports multi page documents.
