  1. Hi Fedi, I need some #advice:

    I'm looking for an open-source, self-hosted #eDMS (Electronic Document Management System), with the following features:
    - Files stored on disk
    - Tags management
    - Ability to add custom stamps on PDFs (ex: "Paid on <date>")

    My use case is the following: I want to leverage the organization features of an eDMS, sync my documents to my Nextcloud instance, and when accessing invoices (read-only) from another computer (or my phone), being able to see at a glance when it was paid (along with other info I might think relevant), hence the stamping feature.

    Docspell seems to store everything in a DB, so external access is hard.

    Paperless-ngx seems bent on not modifying the PDFs, so no stamping feature, while advertising that they store the modified PDFs along the original one, so I'm a bit lost here.

    If there are plugins or tutos on how one might achieve that, I'm open to that too. Using paperless-ngx and manually stamping through external tools is still an option, but it adds friction which I'd want to avoid (bookkeeping is hard enough for me already).

    Boosts/renote/retoot/etc. are very welcome! If you don't know, maybe you know someone who knows :-) !

    Thanks!

  2. Follower-Power requested! Which open source Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) for home-use? Papermerge? Mayan?

    Most of the ingress is scanned paperwork, some are PDFs. For some outgoing correspondence (PDFs and/or emails) it would be nice to track the OpenOffice-File they were created from.
