You'll need to run two others containers for this
I can maybe create an add-on for that
That would of course be awesome.
It would be really great if this addon also included Tika and Gotenberg. Unfortunately, Home Assistant does not allow Docker Compose projects as addons. This feature is definitely overdue!
But I was able to help myself by manually creating the containers for Gotenberg and Tika via the Portainer Addon and assigning them to the "hassio" network so that the Paperless Addon can access them.
Actually, I don't like to create containers manually via Portainer because they are not included in the Home Assistant backup (and generally cannot be backed up), but Tika and Gotenberg work stateless.
Skyleiger could you please advise how I can install Tika & Gotenberg manually on HA. I ran into not-working backup problems with my synology docker installation of paperless/Tika&Gotenberg and therefore was happy to read about the paperless add-on in HA because I thought that it would automatically backup my whole installation without the database mess I had on my synolgy. Therefore I migrated from synology docker to HA, but now I learned that the add-on does not provide Tika / Gotenberg support to process other files than only pdf files. Could you please advise on how I can install Tika / Gotenberg on my NUC so that I can stay with the paperless add-on on Home Assistant. THANK YOU - I dont want to migrate back again to docker on my NAS. I dont even know if there is an export function in the add-on if I would have to.
@Aliofredi You can run those servers in your Synology.
Since files are stored in Paperless-NGX you do not need to backup Tika and Gotenberg
You'll just have to expose ports to be accessible by home assistant host and configure the parameters in paperless.conf
@Sineiko
I activate them in the config. Or is that not active? I have at least activated this in the config file.
how did you do that? I am trying for hours. Seems like I am not even able to achieve at least this. I added a config.yaml in
/root/addon_configs/xxxxxxxxx_paperless-ngx/config.yaml
with proper values for PAPERLESSTIKA* env variables.
but there is no sign of the add-on respecting this config.yaml on startup.
Am I missing something?
You need the Portainer addon, and there you install Tika Gotenberg. But I haven't tried it myself yet.

Yes. I got Portainer running. And even got Tika Gotenberg running in a separate Container.
I am struggling with telling the paperless add-on to use it.
In the settings:
Tika settings
PAPERLESS_TIKA_ENABLED=true
PAPERLESS_TIKA_ENDPOINT=http://gotenberg:9998
PAPERLESS_TIKA_GOTENBERG_ENDPOINT=http://tika:3000
The setting file name is paperless.conf
I tried that before I tried the config.yaml. As I did not seem to have any effect. No sign of Tika in the log on startup of the add-on.
Should paperless.conf be respected automatically? or do I need to tell the add-on somewhere else that it should use it?
The configuration file have the priority over all others configurations arguments But I never needed to anything else than PDF so I don't know how those addons works
I'd be happy to figure that out :) But it seems I am stuck at a basic concept.
Now switched back to try a paperless.conf. But as before the starting paperless add-on seems to completely ignore the paperless.conf.
If you enable the debug flag does it add some verbosity to the logs?
How can i enable the debug flag? Add something to the configuration?
Hello and Thank you for your work,
how can i use Tika and Gotenberg.
I activate them in the config. Or is that not active? I have at least activated this in the config file. But I am not sure. but he says to me: Could not parse content with tika server at http://192.169.178.123:9998: [Errno 111] Connection refused.
which address is the correct one to use?
