Paperless-ngx

Paperless-ngx basiert unter der Haube auf Django, ist also in Python geschrieben.

Installation

Hier wird die Bare-Metal Installation von Paperless ab 2.7.2 auf Debian 12 frei nach https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/setup/#bare_metal beschrieben (also ohne Docker), mit MariaDB-Backend.

• Ab Python 3.11 auf Debian 12 Bookworm muss zwingend ein Virtual Environment eingesetzt werden.

• Die verwendete Komponente OCRmyPDF benötigt Ghostscript 9.55+, welche ab Debian 12 verfügbar ist.

• Auf RHEL bekommt man - abgesehen von anderen Paketnamen - die Software nicht ohne Aufwand ans Fliegen: auf RHEL 8 ist beispielsweise Unpaper nicht verfügbar und müsste compiliert werden, auf RHEL 9 oder Fedora Server lässt sich mysqlclient nicht per pip installieren - und icc-profiles-free fehlt immer, müsste also auch compiliert werden.

Voraussetzungen:

• Auf einem MariaDB-Server einen Benutzer „paperless“ mit allen Rechten ohne GRANT und Schema „paperless“ anlegen: CREATE SCHEMA `paperless` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4;

  Bemerkung

  Der Einsatz von MariaDB bringt folgende Warnungen mit sich:

  account.EmailAddress: (models.W036) MariaDB does not support unique constraints with conditions.
      HINT: A constraint won't be created. Silence this warning if you don't care about it.
  account.EmailAddress: (models.W043) MariaDB does not support indexes on expressions.
      HINT: An index won't be created. Silence this warning if you don't care about it.
  documents.Correspondent: (models.W036) MariaDB does not support unique constraints with conditions.
      HINT: A constraint won't be created. Silence this warning if you don't care about it.
  documents.DocumentType: (models.W036) MariaDB does not support unique constraints with conditions.
      HINT: A constraint won't be created. Silence this warning if you don't care about it.
  documents.StoragePath: (models.W036) MariaDB does not support unique constraints with conditions.
      HINT: A constraint won't be created. Silence this warning if you don't care about it.
  documents.Tag: (models.W036) MariaDB does not support unique constraints with conditions.
      HINT: A constraint won't be created. Silence this warning if you don't care about it.
  

• Redis v6+ installieren und konfigurieren.

Dann:

apt update
apt -y upgrade

apt -y install \
    python3 \
    python3-pip \
    python3-dev \
    default-libmysqlclient-dev \
    pkg-config \
    fonts-liberation \
    imagemagick \
    gnupg \
    libpq-dev \
    libmagic-dev \
    mariadb-client \
    mime-support \
    libzbar0 \
    poppler-utils

Für OCR:

apt -y install unpaper \
    ghostscript \
    icc-profiles-free \
    qpdf \
    liblept5 \
    libxml2 \
    pngquant \
    zlib1g \
    tesseract-ocr \
    tesseract-ocr-eng tesseract-ocr-deu

Download der Software:

apt -y install curl

VER=2.7.2
curl --remote-name --location https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/releases/download/v$VER/paperless-ngx-v$VER.tar.xz
tar -xf paperless-ngx-v$VER.tar.xz
rm -f paperless-ngx-v$VER.tar.xz
mv paperless-ngx/ /opt/paperless/

mkdir -p /opt/paperless/{consume,data,trash,media,static}

User „paperless“ anlegen:

adduser paperless --system --home /opt/paperless --group
chown -R paperless:paperless /opt/paperless

Python-Dependencies in einer Virtualenv installieren:

apt -y install python3-venv
mkdir -p /opt/python-venv
python3 -m venv /opt/python-venv/paperless
source /opt/python-venv/paperless/bin/activate
chown -R paperless:paperless /opt/python-venv/paperless

sudo --set-home --user=paperless /opt/python-venv/paperless/bin/pip3 install --upgrade pip

cd /opt/paperless
sudo --set-home --user=paperless /opt/python-venv/paperless/bin/pip3 install --requirement requirements.txt

PDF-Dokumente mit ImageMagick statt mit Ghostscript prozessieren lassen:

/etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml

<!-- <policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PDF" /> -->
<policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="PDF" />

Konfiguration

Vor dem ersten Start mindestens folgende Einstellungen in /opt/paperless/paperless.conf setzen:

Anschliessend einmalig die Tabellen erstellen, das integrierte Django von Hand starten und die Seite im Browser aufrufen:

cd /opt/paperless/src

# just once: create the database tables
sudo --set-home --user=paperless /opt/python-venv/paperless/bin/python3 manage.py migrate

# this creates your first paperless user
sudo --set-home --user=paperless /opt/python-venv/paperless/bin/python3 manage.py createsuperuser

# to start the server:
sudo --set-home --user=paperless /opt/python-venv/paperless/bin/python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Aufruf im Browser mit http://paperless-ngx:8000, Login mit oben angelegtem Benutzer.

Anschliessend Webserver stoppen und Systemd-Services anlegen:

cp /opt/paperless/scripts/paperless-* /etc/systemd/system/

sed --in-place 's,ExecStart=celery,ExecStart=/opt/python-venv/paperless/bin/celery,g' /etc/systemd/system/paperless-scheduler.service
sed --in-place 's,ExecStart=celery,ExecStart=/opt/python-venv/paperless/bin/celery,g' /etc/systemd/system/paperless-task-queue.service
sed --in-place 's,ExecStart=/opt/paperless/.local/bin/gunicorn,ExecStart=/opt/python-venv/paperless/bin/gunicorn,g' /etc/systemd/system/paperless-webserver.service
sed --in-place 's,ExecStart=python3,ExecStart=/opt/python-venv/paperless/bin/python3,g' /etc/systemd/system/paperless-consumer.service

systemctl daemon-reload

systemctl enable --now paperless-webserver.service
systemctl enable --now paperless-consumer.service
systemctl enable --now paperless-task-queue.service
systemctl enable --now paperless-scheduler.service

systemctl status paperless-*

Der Scheduler läuft in der Default-Einstellung alle 10 Minuten.

NTLK Machine Learning installieren (siehe https://www.nltk.org/data.html):

sudo --set-home --user=paperless /opt/python-venv/paperless/bin/pip3 install --upgrade nltk
sudo --set-home --user=paperless /opt/python-venv/paperless/bin/pip3 install --upgrade numpy

NLTK-Daten mit dem interaktiven Downloader installieren:

sudo --set-home --user=paperless /opt/python-venv/paperless/bin/python3

import nltk
# if behind reverse proxy:
#nltk.set_proxy('http://proxy.example.com:3128', ('USERNAME', 'PASSWORD'))

nltk.download('punkt')
nltk.download('snowball_data')
nltk.download('stopwords')

exit()

Pfadangabe zu den NLTK-Daten anpassen:

/opt/paperless/paperless.conf

# Paths and folders
PAPERLESS_NLTK_DIR=/opt/paperless/nltk_data

Was anschliessend optional gemacht werden kann:

• In den persönlichen Einstellungen „Date display“ auf „ISO 8601“ umstellen.

• NFS- oder Samba-Server installieren und PAPERLESS_CONSUMPTION_DIR freigeben.

• Ein Mail-Konto wie paper@example.com einrichten, um Dokumente von dort abzuholen.

Verwendung

Vor dem ersten Hochladen eines Dokuments passende Correspondents, Tags und Document Types anlegen. Wichtig: Unbedingt einen Tag „inbox“ vom Typ „inbox“ anlegen - hochgeladene Dokumente erhalten automatisch diesen Tag und können so zum manuellen Review gefiltert werden (anschliessend den Tag „inbox“ entfernen). Hochgeladene Dokumente finden sich unter /opt/paperless/media/documents/originals.

Management Tools, z.B. um Dokumente massenhaft zu taggen, finden sich in /opt/paperless/src/documents/management/commands/. Beispiel eines Aufrufs, um das trainierte neuronale Network zu aktualisieren:

cd /opt/paperless/src
sudo --set-home --user=paperless /opt/python-venv/paperless/bin/python3 manage.py document_create_classifier

Archive Serial Number (ASN)

Fortlaufende Nummerierung für Papierdokumente auf Basis eines QR-Codes. Um Aufkleber für Papierdokumente zu generieren, kann der QR Code Label Generator verwendet werden, der für Etikettenpapier vom Typ Avery L4731 ausgelegt ist (189 Etiketten pro Seite; Suche im Internet nach „L4731REV-10“ (10 Bögen) oder „L4731REV-25“ (25+5 Bögen)).

Troubleshooting

paperless-task-queue.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning celery: No such file or directory

Pfad zu celery stimmt nicht. /etc/systemd/system/paperless-task-queue.service anpassen.

MissingDependencyError: gs

Ghostscript 9.55+ installieren.

Error occurred while consuming document: DigitalSignatureError: Input PDF has a digital signature. OCR would alter the document
