Hi, thanks for pointing that out. Its awhile now since I made that template but I believe I took the screenshot and then realized later it will automatically create the folder structure it needs on its own with a documents folder inside the papra folder.
It was tested properly before posting so I am quite sure I just forgot to update the screen-shot. Is it possible for you to confirm you get the documents folder inside the papra folder automatically? If not I will look more into it.

Will do an report back

Thanks

It worked , few things i reverse proxy this because I want to access from outside and setup the owl relay and ingestion folder.

However in the share i created to store my docs all I can see s the SQ lite (not sure how that will work if you have a large org) any way I do not see the config files to modify some of theses things like letting people just register.

Just an FYI

For the time now its behind authelia

Thats good, then it works as expected.

As this screen-shot shows it will create a documents folder automatically as mentioned earlier:

This template for Unraid reflects the basic docker-compose install documented in Papra's docs.
If you want the documents somewhere else you need to map the new location into the container and add the environment variable as described in the screenshot above.

Here is the basics on how to set-up ingestion:


I haven't tried this myself, but seems to be map another volume into container and add the environment variable.

Thank you, im looking more into it and I need to define the variable in the template, I am reading the docs and if you used an .env using docker compose it may be easier.

Thanks for the help.
