  • Paperless-ng

    Discontinued A supercharged version of paperless: scan, index and archive all your physical documents

  • Paperless-ng is fan-bloody-tastic! I'm using the LinuxServer.io docker image and it's working a treat. All my new scans are dumped in here for better-than-I'm-used-to OCR goodness. I can tag my documents instead of battling with folders in Nextcloud.

  • scanservjs

    SANE scanner nodejs web ui

  • I've had an old all-in-one HP USB printer/scanner hooked up to a Raspberry Pi for a few years running CUPS. Network printing has been great via this method. But the scanner portion has sat unused ever since. Until, now.... WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME ABOUT SCANSERVER-JS?! My word this is incredible! It does for scanning what CUPS does for printing, and with a beautiful Web UI.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Docspell

    Assist in organizing your piles of documents, resulting from scanners, e-mails and other sources with miminal effort.

  • Check out Docspell as a promising great alternative to Paperless. I tried Paperless twice, but for done reason I can't put my finger on, it just didn't do it for me.
