image Today I installed Paperless-ngx in a Proxmox container, bare metal, and docker. Docker worked the best since it allows me to use the exact same compose.yml file on my local install on my laptop and on a Proxmox hosted docker container at my house.

  1. The key things I wanted were a way to get emails with attachments and documents to both instances
  2. One set of files on a NAS and the other on my laptop
  3. An easy way to backup all of the files in WebDAV (Not done yet)
  4. A backup of the docker container and data

This should allow me to access the documents anywhere, update them in both locations by sending an email to drag and drop to both, or eventually sync the consume folders with one central webdav. Still a work in progress, but so far it works.
