stumpylog aef653e363 Feature: schema v2 -- document_chunks/document_meta side tables, document_id INTEGER, point-delete
Rewrites the sqlite-vec vector store's on-disk schema: document_id becomes
an INTEGER vec0 metadata column (was TEXT), modified moves out of vec0 into
a new document_meta side table, and a new document_chunks side table gives
O(1) per-document chunk lookup for delete/upsert instead of a full vec0
scan. compact() now streams document_chunks and document_meta across the
file-swap rebuild too (previously document_meta would have gone silently
empty after the first compaction). drop_table() clears both side tables.

Adds the single frozen m0001_v1_to_v2 migration, converting a real,
historically-shaped v1 store (the shape shipped since v3.0.0) into the v2
shape in one streaming pass, with its own hardcoded DDL rather than
delegating to any "current schema" helper.

Paperless-ngx

Paperless-ngx is a document management system that transforms your physical documents into a searchable online archive so you can keep, well, less paper.

Paperless-ngx is the official successor to the original Paperless & Paperless-ng projects and is designed to distribute the responsibility of advancing and supporting the project among a team of people. Consider joining us!

Thanks to the generous folks at DigitalOcean, a demo is available at demo.paperless-ngx.com using login demo / demo. Note: demo content is reset frequently and confidential information should not be uploaded.

Features

A full list of features and screenshots are available in the documentation.

Getting started

The easiest way to deploy paperless is docker compose. The files in the /docker/compose directory are configured to pull the image from the GitHub container registry.

If you'd like to jump right in, you can configure a docker compose environment with our install script:

bash -c "$(curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/main/install-paperless-ngx.sh)"

More details and step-by-step guides for alternative installation methods can be found in the documentation.

Migrating from Paperless-ng is easy, just drop in the new docker image! See the documentation on migrating for more details.

Important Note

Document scanners are typically used to scan sensitive documents like your social insurance number, tax records, invoices, etc. Paperless-ngx should never be run on an untrusted host because information is stored in clear text without encryption. No guarantees are made regarding security (but we do try!) and you use the app at your own risk. The safest way to run Paperless-ngx is on a local server in your own home with backups in place.
