Let me throw in Paperless NGX, https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx

I have a ton of papers around the home. This looks like this can really help. Thanks

For a while it's just data in, which it handles really well. But it really started to shine for me when I needed to find some of the documents. OCR and their search works very well for me.

There are also some interesting thoughts in here: https://skerritt.blog/how-i-store-physical-documents/

I can't for the life of me get this running, the web server just throws errors about the Redis server being unavailable, using their script to generate a docker-compose file.

What's the error?

Can you run docker-compose logs

Here's mine: https://cloud.zell-mbc.com/s/Ac5KQTTxcWNYbNs

I tried to add file it to this post but formatting got completely messed up, hence a link.

Before you run docker-compose you need to change the paperless-app volumes to fit your requirements and set up the variables in .env

Thanks! I did update the .env file with the relevant variables, mapped the directories to local directories, Redis throws the following: https://pastebin.com/jgDVr4Jk and the web server throws Error: Error -5 connecting to broker:6379. No address associated with hostname.. over and over.
