Paperless-ngx

Turn scanned paper documents into a searchable archive on your own server

GitHub 48k Self-hosted Open Source GPL-3.0 Web

Paperless-ngx is a document management system that turns physical documents into a searchable online archive, so you can keep less paper. It suits people who want to digitize letters, receipts and records and find them later without relying on a cloud service.

It is the official successor to the Paperless and Paperless-ng projects. The README recommends deploying it with Docker Compose, with an install script and guides for other methods, and says migrating from Paperless-ng means switching to the new Docker image. It runs on your own server.

Quick start

For a quick try only. See the official docs for data volumes, environment variables and a production setup.

Docker image: ghcr.io/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx:latest
docker run -d \
  --name paperless-ngx \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  ghcr.io/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx:latest

Then open http://localhost:8000
