CvT Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 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? Quote Link to comment
mattie112 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment
CvT Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 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? Quote Link to comment
SkinnySkelly Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment

CvT Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited April 16, 2021 by CvT Quote Link to comment
Adam1 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 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? Quote Link to comment
mattie112 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 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). Quote Link to comment

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, 2021 by Adam1 Quote Link to comment
mattie112 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 A vlan should have no effect, a reverse proxy might do something with uploads. You also never see the "Upload completed"? Quote Link to comment

mattie112 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment
Geow Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment
Bookingyo Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) 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”)" Edited April 21, 2021 by Bookingyo Quote Link to comment
Tokomino Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) Error 500 when upoading via the WebUI EDIT: The Error was because i was using the wrong Redis Docker.

clincher Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 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.

mattie112 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment
Deep Insights Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment

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? Quote Link to comment
mattie112 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Paperless has its own app. But I use Microsoft Lens (free) as it also supports multi page documents. 1 Quote Link to comment
