Paperless NGX - PDF Upload causes TrueNas to lockup

MRi · April 28, 2025, 6:51am

So it seems that paperless ngx is utilising all my resources when processing ( OCR ) PDF Documents. CPU load goes up and OOM eventually kicks in after a few hours. During that time TrueNas is not acessible anylonger.

HW: Ugreen DXP2800 with 16GB RAM

Is there anyway i can limit the App to not utilise all of the TrueNas Resources?

Run top while logged in over SSH and observe what happens.

It seems the issue is not with automated generated PDF but with Scanned PDFs. Will do some more testing
