vsingh-paperless

Paperless-ngx turns physical documents into a searchable archive. Drop a scan into the consume folder and it runs OCR, extracts the text and dates, and files it with tags and correspondents you can search from a web UI.

Everything runs from this one snap -- web server, task worker, scheduler, file watcher and a bundled Redis. SQLite by default, PostgreSQL optional. Built from paperless-ngx upstream at tag v3.0.5.

After install, browse to http://localhost:8000 and create your account:

$ sudo snap run vsingh-paperless.manage createsuperuser

That prompts for the password locally. Avoid setting admin-password through snap config -- it is stored in plain text and readable by anything that can run snap commands.

The bundled Redis listens on 127.0.0.1:6399, not Redis's usual 6379. Any other Redis-family snap on the host claims 6379 first, and Paperless would then quietly connect to that snap's database instead of its own. Change it with: sudo snap set vsingh-paperless redis-port=N

Documents, database and config all live in $SNAP_COMMON, so they survive refreshes and reverts. Back up /var/snap/vsingh-paperless/common and you have backed up everything.

This is an unofficial package. Paperless-ngx is built by the paperless-ngx team and its contributors; this snap only packages their work.
