Frequently asked questions
|
|
**************************
|
|
|
|
**Q:** *I'm using docker. Where are my documents?*
|
|
|
|
**A:** Your documents are stored inside the docker volume ``paperless_media``.
|
|
Docker manages this volume automatically for you. It is a persistent storage
|
|
and will persist as long as you don't explicitly delete it. The actual location
|
|
depends on your host operating system. On Linux, chances are high that this location
|
|
is
|
|
|
|
.. code::
|
|
|
|
/var/lib/docker/volumes/paperless_media/_data
|
|
|
|
.. caution::
|
|
|
|
Do not mess with this folder. Don't change permissions and don't move
|
|
files around manually. This folder is meant to be entirely managed by docker
|
|
and paperless.
|
|
|
|
**Q:** *What file types does paperless-ng support?*
|
|
|
|
**A:** Currently, the following files are supported:
|
|
|
|
* PDF documents, PNG images and JPEG images are processed with OCR.
|
|
* Plain text documents are supported as well and are added verbatim
|
|
to paperless.
|
|
|
|
Paperless determines the type of a file by inspecting its content. The
|
|
file extensions do not matter.
|
|
|
|
**Q:** *Will paperless-ng run on Raspberry Pi?*
|
|
|
|
**A:** The short answer is yes. I've tested it on a Raspberry Pi 3 B.
|
|
The long answer is that certain parts of
|
|
Paperless will run very slow, such as the tesseract OCR. On Raspberry Pi,
|
|
try to OCR documents before feeding them into paperless so that paperless can
|
|
reuse the text. The web interface should be a lot snappier, since it runs
|
|
in your browser and paperless has to do much less work to serve the data.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
You can adjust some of the settings so that paperless uses less processing
|
|
power. See :ref:`setup-less_powerful_devices` for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Q:** *How do I install paperless-ng on Raspberry Pi?*
|
|
|
|
**A:** There is not docker image for ARM available. If you know how to build
|
|
that automatically, I'm all ears. For now, you have to grab the latest release
|
|
archive from the project page and build the image yourself. The release comes
|
|
with the front end already compiled, so you don't have to do this on the Pi.
