Seriously. People in this thread are describing some setups that momentarily seem cool in theory, but are almost certainly overkill for personal use.

- whateveracct 3y agoLuckily, running paperless-ngx on my NixOS desktop is trivial. And it was also trivial to make it accessible over an avahi name on my local network. So it was kind of a "why not" sort of thing.
- nh2 3y agoIndeed, the NixOS module works well. I just tried it: services.paperless.enable = true; In contrast to Docker, it composes well with other things on the same system (e.g. the Samba server already set up to receive documents from my scanner), and I get automatic security updates for it.
- MrVandemar 3y agoIt depends. We had this ridiculous money-making scheme from the Federal Government a few years back called "Robodebt", which basically amounted to sending demands to pay back welfare money that they claim was incorrectly claimed ... long after the retention period for the paperwork. Conveniently they declined to show their working for the so-called incorrect claims. Most people didn't keep their timesheets and records, and then couldn't prove they weren't overpaid, and were supposedly liable for the "debt". Some people comitted suicide over it. If you had your records, you probably wouldn't have lost any sleep over it, much less your life.
