If you'd permit a short quiz. Ntfy is really interesting to me. I would like to send general server updates and didn't know how to ensure users, just family and friends, get them. I think ntfy could solve that problem, right now I just text and maintain a bookstack document.

I would also like to send user specific notifications though. For example a user requests a show from Jellyseerr, the admin legally obtains said show and uploads it to jellyfin, user then gets notification that the show they requested is available.

Pet detection is sorta on the roadmap for 2025... I couldn't be happier.

+1 for immich, if I didn't already know I would be doing photo backups it would have been my entry. For things "I didn't know I needed"

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.

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.

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?

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.

I do not know. I don't believe you can provide a share link for a whole tag, just individual documents. I'm not seeing an obvious way of exporting a tag either.

Sure,

I used TTecks helper script to install paperless as an LXC. I then use proxmox's inbuilt back up schedule to grab snapshots of that LXC, and others, I usually keep 1 "nightly"and 1 "monthly" right now.

Syncthing, another LXC thank you tteck, has access to the back up folder. It is synced with a RPi 4 pulling double duty as my redundant DNS all installed using Docker. The pi 4 install is synced with my proxmox host and an off-site box, through tailscale at my parent's house.

There are better systems, like Borg and what not, but this one is mine.

I have an "important" share on a my NAS that is also synced 3-2-1. It would be better if Paperless saved to my NAS directly, then I'd only have 3 copies. Right now I have 6: 1 nightly and 1 monthly spread across 3 machines, not counting RAID because the "b" in "RAID" stands for back up.

My oh shit plan: grab a back up file. Rebuild the lxc from that snapshot. Access my pdfs.

I keep once in a lifetime stuff: birth certificate, paper counter part to my driver's license, etc. They're still backed up. But, for day-day communications that I'm supposed to keep: 5 years financials and the like, tennant agreements etc. My old filing system was "throw them in a box, if I remembered and find them never. Or, try not delete the email they're attached to". Now I have a glimmer of a hope

Couldn't tell you, sorry. I have Paperless in it's own LXC (helper-script) which I 3-2-1 as a machine. Many duplicates, but they're only PDFs.

I can tell you I spent a small amount of time trying (and failing) to get the files onto my NAS. I can also tell you, if I stretched up really tall I can just about scrape rock bottom when it comes to skills in this stuff.

Paperless - Pay slips, Bank statements, MOT records, Insurance policies, User manuals, restaurant menus. All filed and searchable. Letters I get are photographed, uploaded and immediately disposed of, zero stress.
