!!! warning
It is currently not possible to run the container rootless if additional languages are specified via `PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGES`.
It is not possible to run the container rootless if additional languages are specified via `PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGES`.
If you want to run Paperless as a rootless container, make this
change in `docker-compose.yml`:
If you want to run Paperless as a rootless container, set `user:` in `docker-compose.yml` to the UID and GID of your host user (use `id -u` and `id -g` to find these values). The container process starts directly as that user with no internal privilege remapping:
- Set the `user` running the container to map to the `paperless`
user in the container. This value (`user_id` below) should be
the same ID that `USERMAP_UID` and `USERMAP_GID` are set to in
`docker-compose.env`. See `USERMAP_UID` and `USERMAP_GID`
[here](configuration.md#docker).
```yaml
webserver:
image: ghcr.io/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx:latest
user: '1000:1000'
```
Your entry for Paperless should contain something like:
> ```
> webserver:
> image: ghcr.io/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx:latest
> user: <user_id>
> ```
Do not combine this with `USERMAP_UID` or `USERMAP_GID`, which are intended for the non-rootless case described in step 3.
