I think everybody on here is constantly keeping an eye out for what to host next. Sometimes you spinup something which chugs along nicely but sometimes you find out you’ve been missing out.

For me it’s not very refreshing or new: Paperless-ngx. Never thought I would add all my administration to it. But it’s great. I probably can’t find the thing I need, but I should have a record of every mail or letter I’ve gotten. Close second is Wanderer. But I would like to have a little bit more features like adding recorded routes to view speed and compare with previous walks. But that’s not what it is intended for.

What is that service for you?

    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.

      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.

      I remember, I tried to solve it with bind mounts before. I couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t saving to /mnt/important/paperless/… I think when I get to /originals it’s going to look like ./originals/mnt/important/paperless/… Somewhere it’s going to look like that. Urgh

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