Wanted: Document Management System with OCR (alien.top)

I have an unRAID server with a bunch of dockers on, and yet I'm still scanning and filing my documents in an SMB share like a goon!

What options are out there for me? I'm after something that has the following features:

- Scan to email functionality for ingest as well as manual ingest from another digital file share

- OCR

- Tagging

I'm honestly not sure what else

Suggestions?

I’m drinking the paperless-ngx koolaid very hard. Have digitized over 1k documents into it so far. Fast and easy to use.

With the last upgrade I can't scan in any docs and I get errors:

documents.parsers.ParseError: SubprocessOutputError: Ghostscript rasterizing failed. See logs for more information.

You aren't having that? I did some searching and none of the workarounds aren't working.... around the issue.

I was having that error and it was caused by a compose configuration. I had /tmp incorrectly mapped. Removed the map entirely. Started working again.

I am on version 1.17.4, not having any issues scanning in documents still. Loaded a few more in today.
