## Paperless-ngx on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

Paperless-ngx is the community-driven, self-hosted document management system: scan, OCR, tag, index and archive your documents, then find anything instantly with full-text search. The cloudimg image runs the full stack — web server, celery task workers, document consumer, PostgreSQL and Redis — behind an nginx reverse proxy on port 80, with per-VM admin credentials generated at first boot. Backed by 24/7 expert support.

Two Dedicated Data Disks

The PostgreSQL database lives on its own data disk (/var/lib/postgresql) and your documents, media and search index on a second, larger disk (/opt/paperless) — both independently resizable, separate from the OS disk and re-provisioned with every VM. Snapshot them to back up your archive.

Secure By Default

The admin password is unique per VM and stored in a root-only file; the database password is rotated at first boot. nginx fronts the loopback app so only port 80 is exposed; front it with TLS for production.
