I have a ton of papers around the home. This looks like this can really help. Thanks

For a while it's just data in, which it handles really well. But it really started to shine for me when I needed to find some of the documents. OCR and their search works very well for me.

There are also some interesting thoughts in here: https://skerritt.blog/how-i-store-physical-documents/

What do you use for scanning?

Device is a HP Pro 9010 Printer/Scanner with a local SMB folder set up as scan target. Paperless monitors the share and picks up everything someone (I) put in there. Scanner, PC, phone, anything which can connect to the SMB share. Dead easy and works reliably.

I can't for the life of me get this running, the web server just throws errors about the Redis server being unavailable, using their script to generate a docker-compose file.

What's the error?

Can you run docker-compose logs

Here's mine: https://cloud.zell-mbc.com/s/Ac5KQTTxcWNYbNs

I tried to add file it to this post but formatting got completely messed up, hence a link.

Before you run docker-compose you need to change the paperless-app volumes to fit your requirements and set up the variables in .env

Thanks! I did update the .env file with the relevant variables, mapped the directories to local directories, Redis throws the following: https://pastebin.com/jgDVr4Jk and the web server throws Error: Error -5 connecting to broker:6379. No address associated with hostname.. over and over.
