Setup paperless ngx in lxc

[Matthias182]

Hello,

I currently to setup paperless ngx to manage my own documents. I have already tried differents configurations but I struggle to get everything I ideally want. Currently running paperless in a unprivileged LXC container that has Docker and paperless in it.

Two things would be most important to me:
a) Be able to access data from Windows clients, so probably using SMB to access paperless media folder
b) Separate application and data from each other, so store the ideally on my NAS (OMV running as a VM on the same server)

So far I have setup a samba server on the LXC container which allows me to access data through SMB. But that means I have the data inside the LXC. The second requirement is not fulfilled by that.

Is anybody able to guide me on how better set this up and ideally achieve both at the same time?


Thanks,
Matthias

Hello @Matthias182,

did you succeed with your idea and put it to use?
I find it somewhat tricky so if you could share your experience it would be great!

Thanks,

Hello @PRNT,

not exactly, getting App and Date separated seamed finally impossible to me.

I have now Paperless in a LXC running and keep the data in there as well. I do regular Snapshots an Backups.

And zehn I have a Samba share running for the folders so that I can Upload files and Access the media from a local client.

Matthias
