Paperless-NGX Operations

Stack Location

Compose path on PD: /mnt/docker-ssd/docker/compose/documents/docker-compose.yaml
Appdata: /mnt/docker-ssd/docker/appdata/paperless/
Consume source: /mnt/unraid/data/paperless/consume
Consume container path: /usr/src/paperless/consume

Office Document Ingestion

Paperless-NGX uses internal-only Tika and Gotenberg sidecars:

Tika endpoint: http://tika:9998
Gotenberg endpoint: http://gotenberg:3000
Network: documents_paperless_internal
Host ports: none
Resource limits: Tika 512m, Gotenberg 256m

This enables ingestion/extraction for Office and OpenDocument files such as:

.docx, .doc
.pptx, .xlsx
.odt, .ods, .odp

Deploy / Restart Procedure

Validate before changing running containers:

cd /mnt/docker-ssd/docker/compose/documents
docker compose --env-file .env config

Deploy with compose only:

docker compose --env-file .env down && docker compose --env-file .env up -d

Never use systemctl restart docker on PD for this stack.

Verification

docker compose --env-file .env ps
docker logs paperless --tail 200 | grep -Ei 'tika|gotenberg'
docker exec paperless sh -lc 'echo "$PAPERLESS_TIKA_ENABLED $PAPERLESS_TIKA_ENDPOINT $PAPERLESS_TIKA_GOTENBERG_ENDPOINT"; mount | grep /usr/src/paperless/consume'
