This has been posted a few times already, but I cannot tell you how life changing Paperless NGX is for organizing PDFs. As someone who wrangles all of the insurance and bills for my house, this open source software is so damn good.

I maintain Bash script to quickly set it up locally on Linux with Podman. Give it a spin if you want to kick the tires.

pretty neat stack... I chose other projects in some cases (e.g. ntfy vs gotify) but all in all it's pretty complete. Thanks.

Did you consider watchtower to keep the dockers up to date?

thanks for the tip! Not tried watchtower yet since i just have to click an update button and a background task in "screen" will be start a docker pull of the full stack and also clean up. Also have that for the host. I don't now what watchtower is doing better, but since some project come with breaking changes i need to decide when to update... Anyway update notifications are nice to have.
