I use paperless-ngx with 3-2-1 backup. It runs OCR and indexes them to makes everything searchable. I can go back years later and search for “toyota” find my car warranty agreement in an instance.
how active is paperless-ngx? it seems very much oriented in the direction I'd like to go. I once imagined setting up a camera rig over my desk so that any paper that I looked at got auto-captured and automatically archived without any explicit effort on my part :)
Paperless-ngx is the current active project. It is very active. It was forked off of paperless-ng when melendez became inactive. Which is also forked off of the original paperless when it became inactive.
