Tried to use it, but I don’t want to move all of my data from my currently laid out folder/file structure into a docker container that I then need to backup/upgrade/feed/water/etc., especially when my grasp on docker containers is limited (at best) and I’m dealing with “production” data.
I wish the software worked like Immach; I could point it at a root folder and it would index everything with read only rights.
That, and I’m slightly worried that this iteration will stop being supported and it gets forked (again) which is great that it can be forked but I have no idea what would go into migrating data (see my limited docker knowledge from the first sentence).
Bind mounts. Always use bind mounts for data you care about, otherwise the “managed by docker” volumes are fated to be forgotten.
It won’t be your file structure as the file tree is managed by paperless, but at least using bind mounts you can easily navigate files and back them up independently or docker and paperless.
yes, a bind mount / bind volume is when a volume is explicitly mapped to a location in your local storage rather than managed by docker and likely owned by root.

No idea what a bind mount is.
Is that supposed to be a line in the compose file?

Ok.
That’s over my head. I barely have a grasp on docker. And even then I’m paranoid that I’m screwing something up.
