# Docspell - Document Management System (DMS)
|
|
|
|
Docspell is a personal document organizer. Or sometimes called a
|
|
"Document Management System" (DMS). You'll need a scanner to convert
|
|
your papers into files. Docspell can then assist in organizing the
|
|
resulting mess :wink:. It can unify your files from scanners, emails
|
|
and other sources. It is targeted for home use, i.e. families,
|
|
households and also for smaller groups/companies.
|
|
|
|
You can associate tags, set correspondends and lots of other
|
|
predefined and custom metadata. If your documents are associated with
|
|
such meta data, you can quickly find them later using the search
|
|
feature. But adding this manually is a tedious task. Docspell can help
|
|
by suggesting correspondents, guessing tags or finding dates using
|
|
machine learning. It can learn metadata from existing documents and
|
|
find things using NLP. This makes adding metadata to your documents a
|
|
lot easier. For machine learning, it relies on the free (GPL)
|
|
[Stanford Core NLP library](https://github.com/stanfordnlp/CoreNLP).
|
|
|
|
Docspell also runs OCR (if needed) on your documents, can provide
|
|
fulltext search and has great e-mail integration. Everything is
|
|
accessible via a REST/HTTP api. A mobile friendly SPA web application
|
|
is the default user interface. An [Android
|
|
app](https://github.com/docspell/android-client) exists for
|
|
conveniently uploading files from your phone/tablet and a
|
|
[cli](https://github.com/docspell/dsc). The [feature
|
|
overview](https://docspell.org/#feature-selection) lists some more
|
|
points.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Impressions
|
|
|
|
Checkout the short demo videos (<1min), present on the [project
|
|
page](https://docspell.org/#demos). Here are some screenshots:
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Try it
|
|
|
|
Docspell consists of several components. The probably quickest way to
|
|
get started is to use the docker setup as described in the [get started
|
|
page](https://docspell.org/#get-started). This is only three commands
|
|
away:
|
|
|
|
``` shell
|
|
git clone https://github.com/eikek/docspell
|
|
cd docspell/docker/docker-compose
|
|
docker-compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then go to `http://localhost:7880`, sign up and login. Use the same
|
|
name for collective and user for now. More on that can be found
|
|
[here](https://docspell.org/docs/intro/).
|
|
|
|
Other ways are documented
|
|
[here](https://docspell.org/docs/install/quickstart/):
|
|
|
|
- Install the [provided](https://github.com/eikek/docspell/releases)
|
|
`deb` file at your debian based system.
|
|
- Download [provided](https://github.com/eikek/docspell/releases) zip
|
|
file and run the script in `bin/`, as [described
|
|
here](https://docspell.org/docs/install/installing/#download-unpack-run).
|
|
- Using the [nix](https://nixos.org/nix) package manager as [described
|
|
here](https://docspell.org/docs/install/installing/#nix). A NixOS
|
|
module is available, too.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
The [project page](https://docspell.org) has lots of information on
|
|
how to [use and setup](https://docspell.org/docs) docspell.

## Tech Stack
|
|
|
|
**Backend**
|
|
|
|
The servers is written in Scala in a pure functional style, based on
|
|
libraries from the [typelevel](https://typelevel.org) stack: Cats,
|
|
FS2, Doobie, Http4s, Circe and Pureconfig.
|
|
|
|
There are more libraries and technologies used, of course. Docspell is
|
|
only a orchestration of great tools and libs. One important is the
|
|
[Stanford-NLP](https://nlp.stanford.edu/software/), that provides the
|
|
ML features. Furthermore, file processing relies on external tools
|
|
like tesseract, unoconv and ocrmypdf. All dependencies can be looked
|
|
up in `project/Dependencies.scala`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Frontend**
|
|
|
|
The web frontend is a SPA written in [Elm](https://elm-lang.org). The
|
|
UI framework in use is [tailwind](https://tailwindcss.com).
