I've tried some tools like Mayan and Paperless, but am always disappointed with them. I wanted a super organized, auto-tagged, etc document store. I ended up caring less each year and have settled on a directory with scans organized by date that I can search through. Occasionally I'll rename the files or move them somewhere else, but that's not too often anymore. My current setup is: - Scanner hooked up to a raspberry pi - Push button on the scanner, the pi scans it in and saves a .tif file per page to my nas - A script running in a k8s pod monitors that folder, performs some steps on each .tif file like increasing the contrast, cutting off the edges, detecting blank pages, etc - The same script then converts those .tif files to a pdf and runs Tesseract on it for OCR - That pdf gets uploaded to a folder in my nextcloud instance It's not great, but I can either use my local file explorer to search through the ocr'd PDFs or (more slowly) I can search inside Nextcloud's web ui using the fulltextsearch plugin.
