Paperless-Ngx v2.0.0

  A community-supported supercharged version of paperless: scan, index and archive all your physical documents

  

There was a pretty big discussion about paperless-ngx a couple of months ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37800951 (183 comments)

I tested it out then and am considering migrating from my current system (Google Drive) to using a self-hosted approach. Paperless seems to have a good approach for minimizing the mental overhead of ingesting and categorizing new documents - which is what ultimately leads me to stacking documents up for months before processing them. My initial pilot run was promising, but I haven't gotten around to switching yet.

From the changelog, it's not really clear to me what's notable about this release - especially what's changed which might bring in previously unsure users as new users.

There's nothing about this update on the main page for this product yet, but I think it's a better introduction to the product vs. the github page:

As others said I'm not sure if the name relates to Angular but it's worth saying that the frontend is in fact Angular

• paperless-mobile

  3 550 9.2 Dart

  An (almost) fully fledged mobile paperless client.

I don't have an iPhone, but on Android there is the "Paperless Mobile" app (https://github.com/astubenbord/paperless-mobile), which can be used to scan as well. There are just some documents that I would prefer to have in proper and consistent "document scanner"-quality; I am always having a hard time with lighting using those phone scanners (although Paperless Mobile is one of the better ones I have used).

• paperless_share

  6 147 0.0 Dart

  Android App to share your documents with your Paperless server

I've been using Paperless for several years now very happily and can recommend it over my previous system, also Google Drive. During the transition I found it helpful to set up a cron which (A) made an export of Paperless and (B) uploaded that export to a Google Drive folder.

One feature which seems to be quite a nice improvement (speculating as I haven't upgraded yet) is consumption templates [0]. My workflow involves an ADF scanner with an Android application, sharing the scanned PDF with Paperless Share [1] and then it's uploaded to the server via API. It seems that consumption templates will enable adjusting tags/sharing settings/permissions of a document at ingestion time based on where it's ingested from.

  Podman + Paperless NGX

If anyone is looking to kick the tires of Paperless NGX quickly, check out my little pet project [1] for running it with Podman. I use it every week to scan papers from my Brother ADS2800w which will SFTP the PDFs into a directory for Paperless NGX to consume.

I just updated my install to v2.0.0 with a simple podman pull and a systemctl restart of my paperless pod and everything looks great. Hats off to the contributors of the project. Every update, even major ones like this have been really smooth.
