For people not using redis: there is now an "automated patching mechanism" that will instead use the next best fork of redis that is available on your system as the Requires= dependency in *.service. This way, anyone can use their favorite fork of it. Keep in mind that upstream does not explicitly say that forks of redis work as well, and this further makes the built paperless-ngx-venv package non-portable. Happy experimenting :)

Sounds like some sort of umask issue. Can you reproduce this when built in a chroot?

AlexBocken commented on 2025-09-20 11:32 (UTC)

I can confirm that the current build process messes up the venv. Incorrect permissions prohibit the usage of the venv python in the installed location.

I could fix my error by manually rebuilding the venv in the /usr/lib/paperless location and using the paperless user.

Getting the following error on trying to migrate the database on upgrade:

sudo -u paperless paperless-manage migrate

Weird thing is that I can confirm it to be installed in the venv, has the venv activation changed somehow?

❯ pacman -Q | grep paperless
paperless-ngx-venv 2.16.2-1

❯ pacman -Qo $(sudo -u paperless which paperless-manage)
[sudo] password for norbert: 
/usr/bin/paperless-manage is owned by paperless-ngx-venv 2.16.2-1

Output of

$ pacman -Q | grep paperless
$ pacman -Qo $(sudo -u paperless which paperless-manage)

could be interesting.

Thanks for your comment - that worked:

❯ bash -c "source /usr/lib/paperless/bin/activate && python -c 'import django'" && echo success
success

Do I need to activate the env for the sudo run, too?

@npreining: cannot replicate. what's the output of:

bash -c "source /usr/lib/paperless/bin/activate && python -c 'import django'" && echo success

npreining commented on 2025-05-24 21:39 (UTC)

I would like to try this out, but the guidance given during installation:

To complete the update process of paperless, you should run new migrations with

    sudo -u paperless paperless-manage migrate

does simply not work:

sudo -u paperless paperless-manage migrate
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/paperless/src/manage.py", line 8, in <module>
    from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django'

What is missing here?
