    Paperless-ngx is the successor to the original Paperless & Paperless-ng projects, both of which are now in public archive. The original projects are not dead, but rather, continued through the open source community!

    Agreed. It's difficult to beat paperless* for single-user systems. It does have some rudimentary user management from Django, but it's an admin party and there's no way to give users separate repositories. They've been looking into it for years, going back as far as the original paperless project. I imagine such a feature is difficult to add on as an afterthought because it touches everything, so it should be built in from the very beginning. And it seems they're looking for a perfect implementation, which may or may not exist. Thus, years later, paperless* remains effectively a single-user app.
  • Paperless-NGX

    If I understand this correctly, the original Paperless was archived (Archival notice)[https://github.com/the-paperless-project/paperless/commit/9b...], so Paperless-NG was created.

    Now that Paperless-NG seems to be going unmaintained (last commit on 15th Sep 2021), Paperless-NGX has been created with a focus on an org, so that the continuity of the project can be maintained with a simple path for the original creators to join back if they want to.

    I don't think the community could have handled this better!

  • Announcing first release of Paperless-ngx, the community-supported successor to Paperless-ng
    13 projects | /r/selfhosted | 10 Mar 2022
    As many of you know "Paperless-ng" was a very popular fork of the document management system "Paperless". The initial author of -ng, Jonas Winkler, created an amazing project that was eventually designated as the 'official' successor. He maintained a furious development pace for some time but as of this post hasn't been heard from in months. A group of folks dedicated to the software (myself included) decided to try and revive the project and hopefully set it up for a long future. Yes, a similar thing happened with the original Paperless, we are hoping to avoid some of the same mistakes. See jonaswinkler/paperless-ng#1599, jonaswinkler/paperless-ng#1632 and historically the-paperless-project/paperless#711 if you are curious for more about all of this.

    yes, I know that project. Paperless-ng is actually a fork of paperless project. I borrowed many great ideas from both projects. Unfortunately both projects are now archived (paperless-ng is not officially archived, but in last 6 months there was no development, as it looks to me that main developer lost interest in the project).

    I have a Brother ADS-1700W, works fine, a little fiddly to set up the profiles for one touch scanning but once it's done it's fine. I set up a workflow with https://github.com/the-paperless-project/paperless that lets me scan straight into OCR. https://github.com/jonaswinkler/paperless-ng is the fork that I'm going to upgrade to in my CFT.
