What is it for?

  • Turn paper documents into files and keep them in order
  • Automatic OCR text recognition on scanned documents
  • Smart automatic sorting and tagging
  • Full text search across every document
  • Documents that arrive by e-mail are processed automatically

First steps

  1. Open paperless.DOMAIN in your browser
  2. Sign in: user "admin". The password is on the Settings page, under Automatically generated values
  3. Upload a document in the app, OR drop it into the import/paperless folder in the File manager (FileBrowser) - it is read in and processed with OCR from there. The File manager sign-in is on the File manager app page
  4. You can upload many documents at once: they are processed one by one, and a larger batch takes a few minutes
  5. Create tags and correspondents so new documents sort themselves

Before you start

  • An external hard drive is recommended to keep the documents on
  • At least 1 GB of free RAM (for the OCR work)
