+# Paperless-ngx
+
+Paperless-ngx is a document management system that transforms your physical documents into a searchable online archive so you can keep, well, _less paper_.
+
+Paperless-ngx forked from [paperless-ng](https://github.com/jonaswinkler/paperless-ng) to continue the great work and distribute responsibility of supporting and advancing the project among a team of people. [Consider joining us!](#community-support) Discussion of this transition can be found in issues
+[#1599](https://github.com/jonaswinkler/paperless-ng/issues/1599) and [#1632](https://github.com/jonaswinkler/paperless-ng/issues/1632).
+
+A demo is available at [demo.paperless-ngx.com](https://demo.paperless-ngx.com) using login `demo` / `demo`. _Note: demo content is reset frequently and confidential information should not be uploaded._

+# Features
+
+
+
+
+- Organize and index your scanned documents with tags, correspondents, types, and more.
+- Performs OCR on your documents, adds selectable text to image only documents and adds tags, correspondents and document types to your documents.
+- Supports PDF documents, images, plain text files, and Office documents (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and LibreOffice equivalents).
+ - Office document support is optional and provided by Apache Tika (see [configuration](https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/configuration/#tika))
+- Paperless stores your documents plain on disk. Filenames and folders are managed by paperless and their format can be configured freely.
+- Single page application front end.
+ - Includes a dashboard that shows basic statistics and has document upload.
+ - Filtering by tags, correspondents, types, and more.
+ - Customizable views can be saved and displayed on the dashboard.
+- Full text search helps you find what you need.
+ - Auto completion suggests relevant words from your documents.
+ - Results are sorted by relevance to your search query.
+ - Highlighting shows you which parts of the document matched the query.
+ - Searching for similar documents ("More like this")
+- Email processing: Paperless adds documents from your email accounts.
+ - Configure multiple accounts and filters for each account.
+ - When adding documents from mail, paperless can move these mail to a new folder, mark them as read, flag them as important or delete them.
+- Machine learning powered document matching.
+ - Paperless-ngx learns from your documents and will be able to automatically assign tags, correspondents and types to documents once you've stored a few documents in paperless.
+- Optimized for multi core systems: Paperless-ngx consumes multiple documents in parallel.
+- The integrated sanity checker makes sure that your document archive is in good health.
+- [More screenshots are available in the documentation](https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/#screenshots).
+
+# Getting started
+
+The easiest way to deploy paperless is docker-compose. The files in the [`/docker/compose` directory](https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/tree/main/docker/compose) are configured to pull the image from Github Packages.
+
+If you'd like to jump right in, you can configure a docker-compose environment with our install script:
+
+```bash
+bash -c "$(curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/main/install-paperless-ngx.sh)"
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can install the dependencies and setup apache and a database server yourself. The [documentation](https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/setup/#installation) has a step by step guide on how to do it.
+
+Migrating from Paperless-ng is easy, just drop in the new docker image! See the [documentation on migrating](https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/setup/#migrating-to-paperless-ngx) for more details.

+# Important Note
+
+> Document scanners are typically used to scan sensitive documents like your social insurance number, tax records, invoices, etc. **Paperless-ngx should never be run on an untrusted host** because information is stored in clear text without encryption. No guarantees are made regarding security (but we do try!) and you use the app at your own risk.
+> **The safest way to run Paperless-ngx is on a local server in your own home with backups in place**.
