There's also Mayan EDMS [1]. I have no experience with it, but looks sensible from the outside.

I stood up a demo of Mayan a year ago and played around with it. It was very nice. The Customer ended up going with a commercial offering so I didn’t spend any more time with it. For a small environment where someone could fill the Mayan subject matter expert role I think it would work well.


Considering it’s only one person working on it, Mayan is pretty impressive.

However, support isn’t great. I’ve been stuck on a 7 year old version because the upgrade path past 2.8 is very murky and I’ve been unable to figure it out to date. Older versions of the docs have just vanished from the internet. There was a Tim when the lead had health issues and it halted development for several months (glad he recovered though, seems fine now, but it all depends on the one person)

It’s stuck running on an Ubuntu 16.04 VM that I can’t update and is heavily firewalled because of that.

If I were starting over I’d be using paperless-my instead.

Note this is for personal use, I scan everything and destroy the documents but it amounts to maybe 10–20 documents a week at most.
