paperless-ngx VS AdGuardHome

I steered a friend towards Paperless (and away from an LLM solution) as a way of searching/accessing GBs of architectural PDFs recently - so far, it’s apparently working well for them.

Paperless-ngx is a document management system that transforms your physical documents into a searchable online archive so you can find your physical documents easier. With features such as tags, full text search, multi-user permissions system, this is a dream for those who like to keep an organized folder of files and documents.

Since last year I’ve been configuring and maintaining my homelab setup and it is just amazing.

I’ve learned so much about containers, virtual machines and networking. Some of the self hosted applications like paperless-ngx [1] and immich [2] are much superior in terms of features than the proprietary cloud solutions.

With the addition of VPN services like tailscale [3] now I can access my homelab from anywhere in the world.

The only thing missing is to setup a low powered machine like NUC or any mini PC so I can offload the services I need 24/7 and save electricity costs.

If you can maintain it and have enough energy on weekends to perform routine maintenance and upgrades. I would 100% recommend setting up your own homelab.

This has been posted a few times already, but I cannot tell you how life changing Paperless NGX is for organizing PDFs. As someone who wrangles all of the insurance and bills for my house, this open source software is so damn good.

I maintain Bash script to quickly set it up locally on Linux with Podman. Give it a spin if you want to kick the tires.

Personally, I use https://github.com/joeyates/imap-backup to archive all my emails and then only keep them on the remote server for as long as I need to (basically until I read them and respond or download an attachment into https://docs.paperless-ngx.com )

Also AdGuardhome will use optimistic caching, which is great.

The main repo is GPLv3: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome

They already have many other commercials products and I guess also the default filter rules are very good because of their experience in the domain.

But I think you can use it completely without the AdGuard servers and use other filter list sources.

How it compares to let's say AdGuard Home? Seems similar https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome

I'm using adguardhome v0.107.42 openwrt snapshot on linksys wrt1900ac v2, but when using DoH it won't resolve upstream DNS, but DoT is works perfectly OK, I've already set allow_unencrypted_doh to true in config .yaml file as per instruction here
