Paperless is an application that manages your personal documents. With the help of a document scanner (see Scanner recommendations), paperless transforms your wieldy physical document binders into a searchable archive and provides many utilities for finding and managing your documents.
The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in comparison to installing any other Home Assistant add-on.
- Add Add this URL to your Home Assistant addons repos (Supervisor -> Add-on store -> three dots upper right):
https://github.com/TheBestMoshe/home-assistant-addons - Install this add-on.
- Set the configuration.
- Click the
Savebutton to store your configuration. - Start the add-on.
- Check the logs of the add-on to see if everything went well.
All the files are stored in the share/paperless directory. This includes the consume directory as well as the data and media directories. Files added into consume will be ingested by Paperless.
The simplest way is to make a backup is to make a Home Assistant snapshot and include share.
Another way is to make a copy of the data and media directories.
NOTE: Making a snapshot that includes this addon but does not include the share directory will not back up your data!!
Note: Remember to restart the add-on when the configuration is changed.
