Arch Linux User Repository

Hi there,

I can confirm extra/ghostscript should be added as a dependency, so should extra/poppler I believe: this one contains pdftotext which, if not present, causes errors to be thrown (but do not prevent pdf files to then be processed with ocr).

FYI: The project recently switched the used webserver (https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/pull/9218) from gunicorn to granian (https://pypi.org/project/granian) So 2.15 will likely require some larger fixes for the PKGBUILD. They do provide aarch64 and x86_64 wheels though, so it won't require a rust compiler as a make dependency.

Moin,

I once set up a new LXC with paperless-ngx-venv, I then exported the data on the old paperless-ngx using paperless-manage and then imported it again on the new one using paperless-manage, that worked so far. Two small things were missing, ghost script and extra/python-psycopg because I use PostgreSQL instead of SQLite.

Thanks for advice Bernd

applied, thanks!

Packaging is currently broken on aarch64, which still runs on Python 3.12, so the application of patches that hard-code 3.13 in paths doesn't work.

Symptom:

patch: **** Can't reopen file /home/thomas/.cache/yay/paperless-ngx-venv/src/venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/whoosh/analysis/filters.py : No such file or directory

To mitigate this, use site.getsitepackages() from the Python standard library to read the paths. It returns a list of items, so unpacking that gets the first directory, which is the desired one while the venv is active. Patch for PKGBUILD:

Hi @dp20eic, @tobias_de,

please try again with the paperless-manage utility. Calling manage.py manually will not work, as this package installs a virtual environment into /usr/lib/paperless, which manage.py does not know about.

Moin,

@tobias_de thanks for your support, I will check it today.

Kind regards Bernd

@dp20eic: I also had to install a ton of dependencies manually. The proper way will be to fix the package requirements file, but this hack will work temporarily:

sudo -u paperless pip install httpx-oauth --break-system-packages

(Note that the break-system-packages will force you to overwrite those installed files once they get properly managed/installed via an archlinux package)

Hi,

I've been running paperless-ngx as a Proxmox LX Container under Arch Linux for some time now. I've now created a new LX Container and installed paperless-ngx-venv in it. So far so good, now I've exported everything from the old paperless-ngx using

sudo -u paperless python3 manage.py document_exporter /tmp

but when I try in the new paperless-ngx-venv using

sudo -u paperless python3 manage.py document_exporter /tmp

I get many unfulfilled dependencies, all of which I was able to install, but I fail with this one

❯ sudo -u paperless python3 manage.py document_importer /tmp

How do I break this dependency?

@pipep @shtrophic I've updated the nltk-data package. You might need to override anything you added to /usr/share/nltk_data/tokenizers.
