Problem installing paperless-ngx

Considering that paperless don’t need tika/gotenberg for that, i see the CPU use 100% on all thread, and the process needed 5 minute (bit less bit more)… Can you handle this kind of data with such a small VM? And if you can, process time Will be reasonable?

I don’t know, my largest files are 5 to 10 MB hahaha I generally upload invoices and personal documents from the bank, that’s why I have everything locally,

@oxyde

Another point, most important to me: in case of need, with all the data in the VM, how do you performs backups? Have you to restore completely the VM?

Docker is widely used because it can set up any instance in minutes. The only thing you should back up are the volumes you have in your containers. I recommend documenting that part if you are very concerned about data loss. If you want to make backup copies of your containers, I recommend rsnapshot.

@oxyde

Tika and gotenberg don’t are “data critical”, in case of need i can just point them to another host

Even though they are in the same docker-compose, the services are contained separately, which is why tika gotenberg may fail and paperless will continue to work, I don’t see a problem with that,

FWIW, running docker in a vm on core is a good scale migration strategy.

Remember next version of scale you’ll be able to type docker compose up -d in the shell

For sure, thanks for the tips!

Yeah, im thinking about that.
As i’m thinking about virtualise Scale on PC to try the “migration” path from jails to docker, i dont think will be easy for me (0 linux experience)

Well, you setup a docker vm on core.

You migrate your jails one at a time to docker in the vm, with nfs back to core.

Then you migrate to scale, and your vm migrates too.

Then you migrate your dockers out of the vm one at a time…

Then you get rid of your vm

[oxyde]

Clear, and doing like you suggest is pretty faster than how i was “planning”, because i don’t need to move data from TN to the Windows VM

@Stux

, with nfs back to core

and this is the part i was missing.
So i can just pass actual’s jails data (that are outside from the jails itself) to the docker vm, setupping accordingly the docker to use that, and “ideally” i can run both version too (jails and docker).
I still have some time to read up on docker thoroughly (since the Scale docker release) but now seems way more doable

[Stux]

You can configure docker volumes to directly mount nfs as part of the compose file

This weekend i will try with for sure. Thanks a lot for the tips
