Paperless-ngx

A self-hosted document management system that makes scanned paperwork searchable, runs on your own server with Docker, and uses the GPL-3.0 license.

Paperless-ngx is a document management system for people who want a searchable archive of their scanned paperwork. It helps keep records such as invoices and tax documents available without searching through paper folders.

  • Document archiving: Scan, index and store documents in a digital archive you can search later.
  • Multilingual interface: Use the interface in multiple languages.
  • Self-hosted deployment: Run the archive on your own server, with support for Docker Compose.

Paperless-ngx is open source under GPL-3.0 and is the official successor to Paperless and Paperless-ng. A community team develops and supports the project.

Document information is stored in clear text without encryption, so the archive needs a trusted host, particularly for financial records or identity documents. The public demo lets you try the interface, but it resets its contents frequently and isn't suitable for confidential uploads.
