Brief Description

Paperless-ngx is a community-supported open-source document management system that transforms your physical documents into a searchable online archive so you can keep, well, less paper.

paperless-ngx would be a huge package with many dependencies.

We recommend installing paperless-ngx in a Docker environment (called "Container Manager" by Synology).

hmm there was already one with paperless (not ngx), have the requirements increased so much?

This was another request...

As I said, bare metal installation has too many dependencies

MySQL (MariaDB 10 by Synology)
imagemagick (package exists)
python (package exists, at least v3.10 and 3.11)
redis (package exists)
OCRmyPDF (too many dependencies in it, already recommended to run as docker container, and we do not support builds with qt-library/tools required for qpdf)
Tesseract (package does not exist yet, package would be too large to host on synocommunity repository) There might be more, didn't look into paperless-ngx for six months...

Finally, only DSM 7 (or 7.2?) would be supported (c++17) and I guess only aarch64 and x64, models that have Container Manager support.

The bare metal installation is exotic, the recommended installation is with Docker containers anyway.

There is plenty of documentation on the web about setting up and running Paperless-NGX in containers on Synology devices.
