Paperless-ngx

Paperless-ngx is a document management system that transforms your physical documents into a searchable online archive so you can keep, well, less paper.

Paperless-ngx forked from paperless-ng to continue the great work and distribute responsibility of supporting and advancing the project among a team of people. Consider joining us! Discussion of this transition can be found in issues #1599 and #1632.

A demo is available at demo.paperless-ngx.com using login demo / demo. Note: demo content is reset frequently and confidential information should not be uploaded.

Features

Dashboard Dashboard

  • Organize and index your scanned documents with tags, correspondents, types, and more.
  • Performs OCR on your documents, adds selectable text to image only documents and adds tags, correspondents and document types to your documents.
  • Supports PDF documents, images, plain text files, and Office documents (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and LibreOffice equivalents).
    • Office document support is optional and provided by Apache Tika (see configuration)
  • Paperless stores your documents plain on disk. Filenames and folders are managed by paperless and their format can be configured freely.
  • Single page application front end.
    • Includes a dashboard that shows basic statistics and has document upload.
    • Filtering by tags, correspondents, types, and more.
    • Customizable views can be saved and displayed on the dashboard.
  • Full text search helps you find what you need.
    • Auto completion suggests relevant words from your documents.
    • Results are sorted by relevance to your search query.
    • Highlighting shows you which parts of the document matched the query.
    • Searching for similar documents ("More like this")
  • Email processing: Paperless adds documents from your email accounts.
    • Configure multiple accounts and filters for each account.
    • When adding documents from mail, paperless can move these mail to a new folder, mark them as read, flag them as important or delete them.
  • Machine learning powered document matching.
    • Paperless-ngx learns from your documents and will be able to automatically assign tags, correspondents and types to documents once you've stored a few documents in paperless.
  • Optimized for multi core systems: Paperless-ngx consumes multiple documents in parallel.
  • The integrated sanity checker makes sure that your document archive is in good health.
  • More screenshots are available in the documentation.

Getting started

The easiest way to deploy paperless is docker-compose. The files in the /docker/compose directory are configured to pull the image from GitHub Packages.

If you'd like to jump right in, you can configure a docker-compose environment with our install script:

bash -c "$(curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/main/install-paperless-ngx.sh)"

Alternatively, you can install the dependencies and setup apache and a database server yourself. The documentation has a step by step guide on how to do it.

Migrating from Paperless-ng is easy, just drop in the new docker image! See the documentation on migrating for more details.

Important Note

Document scanners are typically used to scan sensitive documents like your social insurance number, tax records, invoices, etc. Paperless-ngx should never be run on an untrusted host because information is stored in clear text without encryption. No guarantees are made regarding security (but we do try!) and you use the app at your own risk. The safest way to run Paperless-ngx is on a local server in your own home with backups in place.
