​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."
Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64
, arm64
and armhf
. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling ghcr.io/linuxserver/papermerge
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 | Tag |
x86-64 | amd64-latest |
arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
armhf | arm32v7-latest |
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.
---version: "2.1"services:papermerge:image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/papermergecontainer_name: papermergeenvironment:- PUID=1000- PGID=1000- TZ=America/New_York- REDIS_URL= #optionalvolumes:- </path/to/appdata/config>:/config- </path/to/appdata/data>:/dataports:- 8000:8000restart: unless-stopped
docker run -d \--name=papermerge \-e PUID=1000 \-e PGID=1000 \-e TZ=America/New_York \-e REDIS_URL= `#optional` \-p 8000:8000 \-v </path/to/appdata/config>:/config \-v </path/to/appdata/data>:/data \--restart unless-stopped \ghcr.io/linuxserver/papermerge
Docker 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 |
| http gui |
Env | Function |
| for UserID - see below for explanation |
| for GroupID - see below for explanation |
| Specify a timezone to use EG America/New_York |
| Specify an external redis instance to use. Can optionally include a port ( |
Volume | Function |
| Contains all relevant configuration files. |
| 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/mysecretpassword
Will 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 usernameuid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
Default login is admin:admin via the webui, accessible at http://SERVERIP:PORT More info at papermerge.
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
