Paperless-ngx

Yesterday I installed paperless-ngx for management of my family documents. It is very good. It took me some time to re-categorize everything, because I had hoped that its neural network would do most of the grunt work, but it didn’t. After some learning it tagged some of the documents (incorrectly) and didn’t touch most of them, so I had to resort to the ordinary word- and regex-based rules. I actually had fun writing these and they now do 90% of work for new documents.

I don’t have a scanner which can output to the network share, but I added the consume directory (sidenote: Paperless-ngx automatically fetches all new documents from it.) to Syncthing and it’s great!
