The way you would do this with paperless is to create a user in paperless for your accountant to login to.

You would then grant that user permission to view/edit either: a tag, a storage path, a document type, a correspondent, or just individual documents. (or any/all of the above).

When it comes to providing external share links that anyone can use; you can only share single files at a time in paperless. If that's what you're looking for, I'd recommend FileBrowser. You can create a permanent share link that allows anyone that views it to view the contents of a folder and download each file or the whole collection as a .zip. You can even add a password to view the page if you like.

No I'm trying to use it with my work phone. I can't connect my personal phone to the work wifi since it needs a certificate (802.1x) but there's a separate guest network I can use if needed.

It's very accessible with a reverse proxy. Just please be secure if you choose to do so. It's been a wonderful piece of software and i will be paying for the lifetime server license this weekend.

You're right, I don't take advantage of any of these features. I should.

Partly because of lack of know how on my part. So I don't trust myself to successfully have it log in, get what it needs and leave everything else untouched. My main uploads, payslips and bank statements are behind their own apps too.

Partly because paperless is isolated in it's own little container (in my setup at least) so access to the consume folder makes is behind another step, I could syncthing it... I just haven't.

And partly because I use the android app as my main interaction with Paperless. The app uses my phone as a good-enough scanner.

For this, Bind-mounts are your friend:

Volumes:

- /srv/paperless-ngx/consume:/usr/src/paperless/consume

Files get dropped in /srv/paperless-ngx/consume on the host and import to the container.

As far as setting up mail goes: it's pretty straightforward. Add an account, then create a rule for each type of mail you want it to manage. Specify filters like who it's from, what's in the subject/body, how old is it, etc.

And until you are comfortable, just leave the action set to mark as read. Worst case, if you didn't set your filters right; it'll unnecessarily mark mail as read. No big deal.

I just have mine move processed mail to a folder on the mail server called 'Paperless-Imported', which I manually clean out now and again.

We taught each other something new: I didn't know there was a monile app. Imma go check that out

Thank you. Setting it up seems less daunting now. I'm going to try for setting up emails.

The android app is fairly functionally complete, and I only interact with my phone or tablet. In fact, for desktop tasks I have a Linux Mint VM I just console into from my tablet, a sort of sudo laptop.

In anycase, for manual uploading files my phone is probably easier. But, you're advice is good for everybody that's not me, sensible people.

Your comment about bindmounts might have solved my biggest problem with Paperless, in that it doesn't write to my 3-2-1 back up folder directly so I end up 3-2-1ing the whole machine. Which is fine, but I keep multiple snap shots of my LXCs so it's multiples of multiples.

</zpool/important/paperless:/use/src/paperless/original>

Specific file paths aside, would [path to zpool]:[path to originals] have paperless saving the originals to my zpool so I would only have 3 copies instead of 3*#of snapshots?

[email protected]

Indeed it would. That's exactly how I have mine setup; with borg backing up the originals folder from the host.

If you are making this change to an existing installation; remember to copy the contents of the current originals folder out of the container and into the host folder you intended to bind mount, before you change the mount.

So, copy the contents of container:'/use/src/paperless/original' place them in host:'/use/src/paperless/original', THEN add your bind mount to the container config.

Otherwise you may lose the contents of the folder within the container and have to retrieve it from a backup.

The extension is to get the rss link to paste into five filters

Five filters takes the link and gets all the images and all that then makes a new rss link that you give to fresh rss.

When I tried just fresh rss a lot of the sites I tried wouldn't get me images or it would be just the headline and I would have to click the link and go to the actual site to read the article

My server is full of bindmounts. Too many bind mounts. It causes a host of permissions issues if I'm honest. There wasn't a storage problem I didn't solve with bindmounts. Except this one, this one I decided I had to have interact over SMB or some shit.

Thank you. With that problem solved Paperless is, currently, perfect for my needs.

[email protected]

I'm still not sure that filter thing is necessary. FreshRSS can fetch content and images using the CSS selector of the website.
You may want to check out the Advanced section in their documentation: https://freshrss.github.io/FreshRSS/en/users/04_Subscriptions.html#retrieve-a-truncated-feed-from-within-freshrss

Anyway, whatever works for you

Kavita for my ebook collection—mostly tabletop RPGs, but some comics and sci fi as well.

I don’t actually use the web interface that often. I add books to my Kavita library, then scan the OPDS feed into my scratch-my-own-itch mobile app, Bookoscope, and download whatever I want to read onto my tablet from there.

Side note, PDFs are the absolute worst. Even reading them on a full-sized tablet is incredibly annoying. Anybody have any tips/tricks/apps for that?

[email protected]

I just setup Pairdrop on my home server. Holy crap it's amazing!

[email protected]

what do you mean you often switch apps ?

[email protected]

I started with gitea but found it difficult to backup. I've been using gogs for a while now and find it minimal and easy to administrate.

Syncthing. Decentralized data backup that works with minimal setup. Now I can add cloud sync to most any app.

[email protected]

I run it in a docker on zfs so snapshots backed up to PBS seem pretty bulletproof.

[email protected]

I usually convert pdfs to epub if its something I actually need to read and not just scan/browse. Often I would bother to even edit the epub in Sigil to fix any problems with the conversion.

I like to switch RSS apps on the phone a lot because I can't stick with one, and none of them are perfect

That's easily Home Assistant. It got me into the whole home automation stuff and I have gradually included more and more parts into it - including some health related stuff. It really makes my family's life easier and helps us organizing it.
