#### Scan, index and archive all your physical document

**Paperless-ngx** turns physical documents into a searchable archive. Drop a scan into the consume folder and it runs OCR, extracts the text and dates, and files it with tags and correspondents you can search from a web UI.

Everything runs from this one snap -- web server, task worker, scheduler, file watcher and a bundled Redis. SQLite by default, PostgreSQL optional. Built from paperless-ngx upstream at tag `v3.0.5`.

After install, browse to <http://localhost:8000> and create your account:

$ sudo snap run vsingh-paperless.manage createsuperuser

That prompts for the password locally. Avoid setting `admin-password` through `snap config` -- it is stored in plain text and readable by anything that can run snap commands.

The bundled Redis listens on `127.0.0.1:6399`, not Redis's usual `6379`. Any other Redis-family snap on the host claims `6379` first, and Paperless would then quietly connect to that snap's database instead of its own. Change it with: `sudo snap set vsingh-paperless redis-port=N`

Documents, database and config all live in `$SNAP_COMMON`, so they survive refreshes and reverts. Back up `/var/snap/vsingh-paperless/common` and you have backed up everything.

This is an unofficial package. Paperless-ngx is built by the paperless-ngx team and its contributors; this snap only packages their work.

Report packaging problems to [https://github.com/Cruzh3r2107/snap-paperless-ngx/issues](<https://github.com/Cruzh3r2107/snap-paperless-ngx/issues>), not to upstream.
