paperless ngx - chunhualiao/public-docs GitHub Wiki

It does not support semantic search??

• Does paperless-ngx support semantic search such as "find correspondences with insurance broker named Alex" ?
• no! horrible!

INSTALL

• on MacOS: brew install gnu-sed, then set sed to use gnu-sed, otherwise error later on
• vi docker-compose.env , add two lines to enable recursive search of things within the consumer folder

PAPERLESS_TIME_ZONE=America/Los_Angeles
PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGE=eng
PAPERLESS_CONSUMER_RECURSIVE=true
PAPERLESS_CONSUMER_SUBDIRS_AS_TAGS=true

enable pooling

By default, Paperless-ngx uses filesystem notifications to detect new files. However, on certain filesystems or network shares, these notifications might not function correctly. In such cases, enabling polling can help:

Edit the .env File: Add or modify the following line:

PAPERLESS_CONSUMER_POLLING=60

adding new files

If you’ve added new files to the consume directory and they haven’t been processed, restarting the Paperless-ngx service can trigger a rescan:

stop and restart

docker compose down
# Move your documents into the consume directory
docker compose up -d
