Helm chart: paperless-ngx FTP bridge

Kubernetes Helm chart to automatically upload PDF files from a FTP server to paperless-ngx.

This application will automatically search for PDF files on your FTP server and upload them to the paperless-ngx API. The application will run as a cronjob and will be executed every 5 minutes (can be changed).

You can use this application e.g. if your document scanner can only upload files to a FTP server. With this bridge your scan device will be able to upload the documents directly with the FTP as file storage inbetween.

Configuration

The configuration of the application will be set in the values.yaml-file. Everything is pretty straight forward and should be self-explanatory. If you think more information should be provided or need help, feel free to open an issue.

Installation

To deploy the Helm chart first copy the values.yaml-file and customize your deployment. After it was modified you can deploy the chart with the following command.

$ helm repo add taskmedia https://helm.task.media
$ helm repo update

$ helm show values taskmedia/paperlessngx-ftp-bridge > ./my-values.yaml
$ vi ./my-values.yaml

$ helm upgrade --install paperlessngx-ftp-bridge taskmedia/paperlessngx-ftp-bridge --values ./my-values.yaml

You can also use OCI Helm charts from ghcr.io:

$ helm upgrade --install paperlessngx-ftp-bridge oci://ghcr.io/taskmedia/paperlessngx-ftp-bridge
