linuxserver/papermerge

Papermerge is an open source document management system (DMS) primarily designed for archiving and retrieving your digital documents. Instead of having piles of paper documents all over your desk, office or drawers - you can quickly scan them and configure your scanner to directly upload to Papermerge DMS."

Supported Architectures

Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling linuxserver/papermerge should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

Architecture	Tag
x86-64	amd64-latest
arm64	arm64v8-latest
armhf	arm32v7-latest

Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.

docker

docker create \
  --name=papermerge \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=America/New_York \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  -v </path/to/appdata/config>:/config \
  -v </path/to/appdata/data>:/data \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/papermerge

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---
version: "2.1"
services:
  papermerge:
    image: linuxserver/papermerge
    container_name: papermerge
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=America/New_York
    volumes:
      - </path/to/appdata/config>:/config
      - </path/to/appdata/data>:/data
    ports:
      - 8000:8000
    restart: unless-stopped

Parameters

Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

Ports (-p)

Parameter	Function
8000	http gui

Environment Variables (-e)

Env	Function
PUID=1000	for UserID - see below for explanation
PGID=1000	for GroupID - see below for explanation
TZ=America/New_York	Specify a timezone to use EG America/New_York

Volume Mappings (-v)

Volume	Function
/config	Contains all relevant configuration files.
/data	Storage location for all papermerge data files.

Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)

You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.

As an example:

-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword

Will set the environment variable PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.

Umask for running applications

For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.

User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (-v flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

Application Setup

Default login is admin:admin via the webui, accessible at http://SERVERIP:PORT More info at papermerge.

Docker Mods

We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) can be accessed via the dynamic badge above.

Support Info

• Shell access whilst the container is running:
  • docker exec -it papermerge /bin/bash
• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
  • docker logs -f papermerge
• Container version number
  • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' papermerge
• Image version number
  • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/papermerge
