Paperless NGX

What is 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 is the official successor to the original Paperless & Paperless-ng projects and is designed to distribute the responsibility of advancing and supporting the project among a team of people. Consider joining us!

Paperless-ngx Features

A full list of features and 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.
