Paperless-ngx is a document management system that indexes physical scans into a searchable archive. It runs as a containerized stack using Docker Compose and serves as the active successor to the original Paperless project. It provides an interface for tagging, organizing, and retrieving documents locally.
The software is stable and solves the common problem of digitizing paper records for personal use. However, it does not provide built-in file encryption at rest, meaning you must secure the host machine yourself. It is not suitable for users who require a zero-knowledge cloud solution.
