If you change the POSTGRES_PASSWORD (which is set to paperless by default) in the db container, then you'll need to add PAPERLESS_DBPASS: password_you_chose as an environment variable in the paperless-ngx/webserver container. I've updated the docker-compose.yml in the description with these details as well. If you don't you'll get a password authentication error in the db and paperless-ngx/webserver containers.

Following your instructions leads to "Container paperless-ngx stopped unexpectedly." roughly every 3 seconds on loop until I stop the project. Trying to run on DS923+, I'm guessing there's an incompatibility issue or this install no longer works.

The log for paperless-ngx is getting an error "FATAL: password authentication failed for user "paperless"". (the Postgresql log also indicates a failed login attempt). Seems like it should be easy to figure out, but I'd love any tips (as I don't have time to troubleshoot at the moment)

@@alexdelli2 i got my install working for real. The first time I spun it up I changed the password for postgresql...while I had changed it back later, I had to manually go and delete all the files/folders that were created. Once I did that I was able to spin up the server successfully

Interesting... I just spun up a new install of paperless-ngx with a new database password and sure enough I got the error also. The fix for me was to add a PAPERLESS_DBPASS: as an environment variable for the paperless-ngx (web server) container. I'll add a sticky comment and update the docker-compose.yml file in the description as well. Thanks for pointing out the issue!!

ow that's nice, unfortunately my nas is the ds715 which does not support docker, i was wondering if i can manually install ?

@digital_aloha 2 ай бұрын

To bad... Unfortunately docker would have been your best bet to install on a Synology NAS. If you have a standalone linux computer you could possibly install Paperless-NGX there as well. Hope you can find a host that works. Good luck!!

Nice tutorial. When I change PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGE=eng to PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGE=nld, I get an error. Do you know what I am doing wrong?

@digital_aloha 2 ай бұрын

Hopefully you figured things out but, if not, you need to change your docker-compose.env file and add an additional line for languages. It should read this in your setup. PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGES=nld PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGE=nld Basically nld isn't a default OCR language so you need to specify it with the PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGES option to install the language. Check out this link for details -> docs.paperless-ngx.com/configuration/#ocr. Hope that does the trick for you? Good luck!!

@jurgenpaapen5998 2 ай бұрын

Thank you for your reply. This is working now. Is it also possible to add English as 2nd language for OCR. As value by LANGUAGES=nld,eng. And value bij LANGUAGE=nld. Is this right? I think this is not working.

is there currently a way to get this done with single image or container rather? I noticed after following the method it has installed 5 different images and running 5 other containers.

@fretbuzzly Ай бұрын

Each one of those images is a piece of software that the application needs to run. They are dependencies for the application.

hi, thanks for this video. my Synology (DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 6) doesn't have Container Manager. I can only use Docker. I don't have the Project Tab. Any suggestions. Thanks.

You're welcome!! Regarding your question, would it be possible to upgrade DSM to 7.2? If you can you'll have access to Container Manager. If not, let me know and I'll point you to a video that you can use as a reference.

Enough time has passed that I'm not sure any of you will see this... I have been able to create the .yml file and successfully built all 5 docker containers. I have made sure to use easy default passwords in all containers. After all containers are running the paperless-ngx log hangs as "waiting on redis". It then just times out and start over. I've deleted and recreated the containers multiple times with the same result. I've also followed another set of instructions to manually create each docker container separately and in that case, the paperless-ngx container log hangs exactly the same. All I've found on Google implies that just deleting and recreating the containers fixed the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?
