Document Management - Looking for solution (alien.top)

I am looking for a self-hosted solution that will index all of my files and present them in a web hosted solution. I don't want to transfer the files to one location, I would like to specify where to search. I have looked at Paperless NGX but I don't like that solution. I would appreciate any feedback.

Just spent a few days setting up and configuring paperless. I'm a believer. 5k docs already imported, sorted, and ready for easy access.

what are you using for scanning so many documents?

Hey,try out docspell. It was easy to spin up on Docker although I was not familiar with the programming language they used, Elixir I think. It definitely is a well thought out EDMS

if you are looking for document management, the Paperless NGX is the way to go. You could always try something like Nextcloud, but that is basically just a storage area, not an indexing solution
