If you use DNS-01, you don’t need port 80 open.

I use this and didn’t even know there’s something new out there — so thanks for the heads up.

I posted my paperless backup strategy here: https://lemmy.world/post/46429607

As for retention time, in digital I don’t care. Storage is cheap enough for that amount of data.

Paper I tend to only keep very important documents, but haven’t done a full inventory scan yet.

The script to trigger my paperless export: docker compose exec -T webserver document_exporter ../export

This is run via a crontab entry every night, and exports to a mounted directory. Said directory then is included in my nightly restic backup, scheduled via resticprofile.

It is a monthly price you pay for the storage, traffic included. Breaking it down to hours would make sense if you keep the storage for a short time only. A backup you want to keep indefinitely of course.

The cloud could be your offsite backup. Using restic and running a regular paperless export is the way I do it. Nightly export, followed by a backup to Hetzner.

Iset it up a long while ago but haven’t updated in a long while either… not sure whether the tracking is still active on my phone. Thanks for this post, I’ll see whether there is an easy upgrade path to 1.0 without too many breaking changes 😄

Yeah, same. Or a demo instance. But if you install and test, you can take some screenshots and contribute to the repo 😉

(Well, so could I… but… some other time)

I haven’t tried it yet, but had a similar question recently and found this: https://github.com/ikarakas/HealthStash

If you try it out, please leave some comment here on how it worked out. I’m just too busy (okay, procrastinating) to set it up at the moment…

Out of bounds?

Among other things, yes.

They also have some sale coming up where you get more storage or extra cores for the same price: https://www.netcup.com/en/deals/easter-sale Usually these apply permanently.

Find some loophole in their T&C to terminate your account I guess. Similar to how mobile providers don’t like people actually using a lot of bandwidth on their „unlimited“ plans.

Thanks, I’ll look into it. For completionists: This is the article about how to properly archive paper: https://peelarchivesblog.com/2024/09/10/how-do-archivists-package-things-the-battle-of-the-boxes/

Thanks, this sounds really useful. Patch T sounds like some manual sorting work, but I guess with the option to reuse those separator pages it is still better than manual splitting or - worse - single scanning.

I haven’t looked into paperless-ai yet, but I hope my machine would be beefy enough for this task — worst case I guess it might take a little longer to process all docs.

Now I only still need to decide on a good archiving method. I read some article a long time ago about the pros and cons of different document archiving methods used by professional archivers. Some prefer horizontal stacking in boxes, while others prefer vertical stacks in vertical boxes. Pretty interesting nerdy topic 😀

Interesting approach with the ASN — haven’t started using that feature yet. If I understand correctly, you add a QR ASN to each document you need to keep a physical copy of? And that sticker also has the ASN in human readable form? So you would then add many documents at once to the feeder, and Paperless will read the QR and also split documents whenever a new code appears?

What about documents you don’t want to keep physically? Is there a way to get Paperless to split them automatically as well if you add many to the feeder?

Add an NVMe cache to my server and upgrade RAM if pricing permits.

From the software side there are a lot of open feature requests I keep adding to my backlog, like setting up a mail archive, reconfiguring my network (separate IoT devices into separate VLANs), maybe reconfigure some of my containers, …
