So why would you want to use something like this? If you are like me, people ask for things such as deleriables, contract info, tax stuff, etc. This allows me to search for ocr fields and grab any docs that might have the topic.
How to guide:
1) install docker tool of your choosing that support docker compose. For this I'll use docker desktop.
2)
Create a Directory: Open File Explorer and navigate to your preferred location (e.g., Documents). Right-click and select New > Folder, then name it paperless-ngx.
3)
create the compose file.

4)
create needed directories in folder to match such as the consume folder
5) navigate to the folder and run the docker compose using docker-compose up -d
6)create the superuser on the webserver using something like docker exec -it $paperless-ngx-webserver-1 python3 manage.py createsuperuser
navigate to localhost:8000 and enjoy
