I'm already hosting pihole, but i know there's so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I've got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

definitely try it out. You can auto-ingest from the scanner folder and it will do all the rest of the sorting for you. I go in every few weeks/months and look at the recent documents to sort and fix up any meta-data/sorting.

    Thanks. I've set it up and imported all my existing scans. Works great.

    awesome. i think that the initial install "just works", then you can start to tweak it. just make sure you mount actual directories, not docker volumes, otherwise you cannto see the files on the disk.

    Thanks for the suggestion! I tried to do that and have the files reside on a mount (on my NAS) but that didn't work, resulted in a "chmod" error. So, instead I've created a shell script that runs every night and creates a backup & copies the resulting zip file to my NAS :)

    By the way, when using docker volumes, you can see the actual files as well. In my case (RPI4) they are located here: /var/lib/docker/volumes/paperless_media/_data/documents
