It's perfect! Do you guys already do this?

I open a letter, I take it's picture with FairScan. The FairScan-folder on my android device gets syncthinged to the ingest folder for Paperless-ngx on my "server". Paperless imports it, deletes the file and sets the new documents tag to inbox. I decide if the document goes to the binder for important stuff, or if I just toss it in a binder with all the paper I most likely will never touch again. Next time I look at Paperless, I edit all documents with the inbox tag and remove the tag.

Heads up if your Paperless is installed via Docker: be VERY CAREFUL about your database version and do an export often!

Mine has been down for a while because I did a pull and it doesn't support my version of Postgresql anymore. So it's kinda a huge mess trying to figure out how to safely migrate it in the container.

I haven't been able to fix it yet so I've just left it disabled and gone without for a while. It's not fun.

Allegedly if you export from within Paperless, you can just start with a fresh updated database container and import when this happens. Oof.

    This is a reminder for self-hosters to put their apps (and their data) on snapshotting filesystems with automatic, regular snapahots turned on; and fix the app versions to at least the major version, across all containers. This should bring similar disruption to bare minimum and makes recovery always possible, without relying on specific app backup features.

    your version of postgres meaning that you use a db external to the docker container?

    No sadly the upgrade path is a bit ducked. Their compose, their versions, still not working without intervention.
