Did a bit more digging.. When stopping code-server container, I face enough free memory to run paperless-ngx? Paperless seems to allocate twice the memory of e.g. Home Assistent. 500mb in my case. Has anybody experience on this matter? Could I limit the memory assignment when starting the container so that paperless would still run responsive? I dont require paperless to be fast in processing. There is only a demand for a few documents every now and then in a private house hold |

I sort of have the same question (DS1512+ with 3GB of RAM), but I think the answer is going to be it depends on free RAM. The amount of free RAM you are seeing in DSM is a bit deceptive. If I plot the amount of used phyical RAM in DSM 6.2 for the last week, that figure never goes above 72%. If I plot the swap usage for the same timeframe, the swapping is definitely there, last month I only had like seven days where the use of the swapfile was more or less absent. For example - my paperless-ngx startup log looks cleaner after disabling the email task and setting worker parameters and giving redis the following parameters But still tasks are just exiting. I am using MariaDB in a Docker container since the MariaDB i have running on the host is not new enough according to the documentation. Using Sqlite gave a lot of database locking errors. Below is the startup log of my current paperless instance, it takes more than 30 seconds do display the one document I have processed with it in the Documents view.. |

2GB of memory is quite low, but paperless is capable of running on a Raspberry Pi. I would suggest looking through: https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/setup/#less-powerful-devices |

Will do, thanks for the pointer. Already ordered 16GB mem extension for the NAS. Let's see |

Thanks for the link @stumpylog. Both @oberhit and myself were trying to get paperless-ngx running on a NAS that is close or over the limit where the system swap file would have to be used. I rebooted my NAS yesterday and that helped a little bit; but I already have so much stuff running on the NAS that I chose to install Portainer in WSL2 on my desktop Windows 10 pc, since it has plenty of RAM. I'm thinking of exporting the paperless database to the NAS and configuring Paperless there in such a way that it would basically be for viewing only. If that does not work properly, I'll probably script backup and restore of the database on WSL2 so that sensitive documents wont be on my pc 24/7 |

Just plugged in another 16 GB and everything went just fine. Problem solved! |

Hi there,
could you help me with expected system requirements for paperless-ngx? I understood that for casual use a Raspberry should be fine for paperlessNGX? I'm trying to run it on my Synology NAS DSM423+ (Intel Celeron J4125, 4 Cores, 2.0 each; 2 GB Memory) which outperforms a raspbery 4 by roughly 250%.
Currently running a few smaller containers and HomeAssistant, which usually remains low at 2-3% CPU but might jump to 30% for a few seconds every now end then..
After installing via portainer/docker (configured to run with redis/postgres and 2 languages for PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGE) the entire NAS becomes unresponsive. I can't SSH; cant use the web interface of any docker container or DSM (Synology OS). After few hours, it seems the paperlessngx webserver container gets killed. Logs show:
This might be memory related. Not sure.. Any advice?
edit:
just found these issues thx to Glance which shifts my focus back to the CPU?
according to the paperlesss documentation, I might do wrong here, as I configure 2 OCR languages?
https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/configuration/
"This can be a combination of multiple languages such as deu+eng, in which case Tesseract will use whatever language matches best. Keep in mind that Tesseract uses much more CPU time with multiple languages enabled."
Thank you in advance
