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.
