Docker

The Most Basic Setup

The only two required environment variables are PAPERMERGE__SECURITY__SECRET_KEY and PAPERMERGE__AUTH__PASSWORD. To start web app use following command:

docker run -p 12000:80 \
    -e PAPERMERGE__SECURITY__SECRET_KEY=abc \
    -e PAPERMERGE__AUTH__PASSWORD=pass123 \
    papermerge/papermerge:3.3

Point your web browser to http://localhost:12000:

login screen

Credentials are:

  • username admin
  • password pass123

Above setup, although incomplete, it is pretty good start. It does not include features like search function or OCR, but it serves well as quick demo to get a feeling of Papermerge DMS. Check docker compose section for more advanced setups.
