This image is deprecated. We will not offer support for this image and it will not be updated. The last working tag is: v2.0.1-ls60 We recommend the official image instead: https://hub.docker.com/r/papermerge/papermerge
Papermerge is an open source document management system (DMS) primarily designed for archiving and retrieving your digital documents. Instead of having piles of paper documents all over your desk, office or drawers - you can quickly scan them and configure your scanner to directly upload to Papermerge DMS."
We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/papermerge:latest should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
| Architecture | Available | Tag |
|---|---|---|
| x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-<version tag> |
| arm64 | ✅ | arm64v8-<version tag> |
| armhf | ✅ | arm32v7-<version tag> |
Default login is admin:admin via the webui, accessible at http://SERVERIP:PORT More info at papermerge.
If you need non-English OCR language support, you can use this mod.
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.
docker-compose (recommended, click here for more info)
---
version: "2.1"
services:
papermerge:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/papermerge:latest
container_name: papermerge
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Etc/UTC
- REDIS_URL= #optional
volumes:
- </path/to/appdata/config>:/config
- </path/to/appdata/data>:/data
ports:
- 8000:8000
restart: unless-stoppeddocker cli (click here for more info)
docker run -d \
--name=papermerge \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e TZ=Etc/UTC \
-e REDIS_URL= `#optional` \
-p 8000:8000 \

lscr.io/linuxserver/papermerge:latest
Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.
| Parameter | Function |
|---|---|
-p 8000 |
http gui |
-e PUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
-e PGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
-e TZ=Etc/UTC |
specify a timezone to use, see this list. |
-e REDIS_URL= |
Specify an external redis instance to use. Can optionally include a port (redis:6379) and/or db (redis/foo). If left blank or not included, will use a built-in redis instance. If changed after initial setup will also require manual modification of /config/settings.py |
-v /config |
Contains all relevant configuration files. |
-v /data |
Storage location for all papermerge data files. |
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.
As an example:
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpasswordWill set the environment variable PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.
For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.
When using volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:
$ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it papermerge /bin/bash - To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f papermerge - container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' papermerge
- image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/papermerge:latest
Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.
Below are the instructions for updating containers:
- Update all images:
docker-compose pull- or update a single image:
docker-compose pull papermerge
- or update a single image:
- Let compose update all containers as necessary:
docker-compose up -d- or update a single container:
docker-compose up -d papermerge
- or update a single container:
- You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
- Update the image:
docker pull lscr.io/linuxserver/papermerge:latest - Stop the running container:
docker stop papermerge - Delete the container:
docker rm papermerge - Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your
/configfolder and settings will be preserved) - You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
-
Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one run:
docker run --rm \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ containrrr/watchtower \ --run-once papermerge
-
You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Note: We do not endorse the use of Watchtower as a solution to automated updates of existing Docker containers. In fact we generally discourage automated updates. However, this is a useful tool for one-time manual updates of containers where you have forgotten the original parameters. In the long term, we highly recommend using Docker Compose.
- We recommend Diun for update notifications. Other tools that automatically update containers unattended are not recommended or supported.
If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:
git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-papermerge.git
cd docker-papermerge
docker build \
--no-cache \
--pull \
-t lscr.io/linuxserver/papermerge:latest .The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --resetOnce registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64.
