Config files and scripts I wrote to make paperless-ngx a little easier to set up.

Copy the shell scripts and paperless.conf file into your paperless-ngx/ installation directory. Edit paperless.conf and set the PAPERLESS_DB* options appropriately. Change every instance of the string 'your-hostname-here' to the hostname of the machine you installed paperless-ngx on. Set PAPERLESS_NLTK_DIR to the full path to your NLTK data directory (by default, /home/your-username-here/nltk_data).

Patch the /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml file:

• cd /etc/ImageMagick-6
• sudo patch < /path/to/paperless-ngx-files/policy.xml.diff

Install the NLTK pre-trained models if you haven't already:

• . path/to/paperless-ngx/env/bin/activate
• ./install_nltk.py

Install the helper shell scripts:

• cd /path/to/paperless-ngx-files
• cp *.sh /path/to/paperless-ngx

Install the systemd .service files:

• mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user
• cp *.service ~/.config/systemd/user
• systemctl --user enable paperless-consumer.service
• systemctl --user start paperless-consumer.service
• systemctl --user enable paperless-scheduler.service
• systemctl --user start paperless-scheduler.service
• systemctl --user enable paperless-task-queue.service
• systemctl --user start paperless-task-queue.service
• systemctl --user enable paperless-wsebserver.service
• systemctl --user start paperless-wsebserver.service
• loginctl enable-linger $(whoami)

paperless.nginx.conf is a simple Nginx configuration file that can be dropped into /etc/nginx/conf.d or added to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf in the appropriate location.

• sudo cp paperless.nginx.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d
• sudo /usr/sbin/nginx -t
• sudo systemctl restart nginx.service
