Paperless-ngx is a community supported opensource document management system that transforms your physical documents into a searchable online archive so you can keep, well, less paper. It is a free and opensource app

@nixCraft@mastodon.social isn't there an easier alternative? I would prefer a gui client where I can drop scanned documents, tag/categorize it and be done with it. I don't need automation, if it's so complicated to setup. I guess I should just do it manually and put documents into folders, the noob way. I don't own a company, I just want an 'app' where my documents are searchable and easier to manage.

@kuroneko@social.anoxinon.de I think you've misunderstood what Paperless-ngx does:
- using a scanner, scan to a directory that paperless is monitoring
- paperless will OCR the document, and with some training auto-tag/categorize the document.

Or there's a webui that you can drop existing documents into.

And if you are struggling to install it, perhaps this will help: https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=paperless-ngx

I'm sure you could edit it so that it works on whatever platform you need.
