I had a little go as well. Paperless does do a lot better with the ai. I would also recommend looking at Firefly III.
My only problem with them is that they require Postgres + Redis. I don’t know enough about them to properly manage the persistent data behind them. Then that leads to my lack of knowledge in making effective backups and being able to restore from said backups.
i have everything running on a proxmox lxc’s.
if you have any tips or some where i can read up that would me amazing.
