I’ve tried installing it about a dozen times over the past year, but it always gives an “unable to get image” error. So I’m wondering if there’s an alternative that does everything paperless does…but lets me use it

    I’d look further into that bug because it’s not happening on my end.

      Papermerge version 2.0, version 2.1 and version 3.0 are entirely different and incompatible applications.

      That doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in the future versions of this application, given in particular the use case of long-term document archival :).

    Have you tried with Docker? I’ve installed it more than a year ago, but if I’m not mistaken I’ve used their Docker compose.

            Sure I’ll help you out best I can. First, I assume you’re on Linux and know docker a bit. I don’t know you so just trying to see what we’re working with here :)

              Thank you! I’ve tried several distros, I couldn’t get Docker to install on of most of them so I’m currently running Ubuntu. It took 5 or 6 guides, but I finally found some commands that let me install Docker. But I haven’t found a Docker image I’m interested in that works for me yet. I figured this would be a simple one to start with

                Yeah, Ubuntu is fine, I run Ubuntu myself. From my experience, this is one of the painful containers to set up haha But okay let’s roll with it. Personally, I did it with the “From GHCR/Docker Hub” option, and it took some tweaking. If you tried this option, where did you stop and what error did you get? Or do you want me to go step by step?

                PS. For a more complete guide on homeserver, docker and stuff I recommend Smart Home Beginner. That’s where I learned. You don’t need his “Auto Traefik” stuff tho, so just ignore it

                  Thanks again, I got Docker sttup and I’m logged in. I just ran the paperless-ngx script from hub.docker again. It asked me questions, I used the machine’s TailScale IP and default port for the URL, but I can’t access it as intended so I made a mistake I suppose

                  Edit: I saved your link for later, thank you

          Hey, thank you! That’s definitely progress. Not I have a new issue because I signed in through Github so not I have to reset a password that I never made haha I’ll report back when support helps me out
