⁠What you get

Signature, user and attestations below were measured on the published digest sha256:fa044fc36c56b4a2bcc7bff0975983871eb095253320fddbbd3236b995bb10a7 on 2026-10-17.

• Scan scores — we scan every image we publish every day (an SBOM made with syft, vulnerabilities matched with grype, scored with ce.rodeo's published rubric) and record each scan with how its score was derived. This release's first and latest scan: https://readystack.dev/products.html#paperlessngx⁠
• ReadyStack release check — passed at release on 2026-10-16: no fixable critical or high vulnerability (Docker Scout and OSV), a non-root user, SBOM and provenance attached. This is ReadyStack's own test, not a Docker grade; vulnerabilities published since then are in today's result at https://readystack.dev/queue⁠.
• Signed — cosign signature by the ReadyStack release key (fingerprint 04daa92344a52dbc) on this release's index digest sha256:fa044fc36c56b4a2bcc7bff0975983871eb095253320fddbbd3236b995bb10a7; verify with cosign verify --key https://readystack.dev/keys/cosign.pub readystack/paperlessngx:v3.3.1-CE-ubuntu24.04-r1.
• Attestations — An SPDX SBOM and SLSA v1 build provenance are attached to this digest.
• Runs as a non-root user (paperless).
• Built from source by ReadyStack.

⁠Which tag should I pull?

This image follows the ReadyStack release-tag convention:

• The current release is v3.3.1-CE-ubuntu24.04-r1 — the release on sale at readystack.dev. Release tags use the pattern <upstream-version>-CE-<base-os>-r<N>; the current one is signed, attested (SBOM + provenance), and is provided under the ReadyStack Agreement⁠.

• Earlier release tags (an older version or revision in the same pattern) are superseded. They stay pullable so existing deployments can pin them, but they are no longer re-graded, and fixes appear only in newer releases: move to the current release. For a superseded release's build kit, ask support.

• Any tag beginning with internal- is an engineering-pipeline artifact published for build observability. It is unsupported, may change or disappear without notice, and must not be used in production.

# ✓ current release
docker pull readystack/paperlessngx:v3.3.1-CE-ubuntu24.04-r1

# ✗ unsupported (do not pull)
docker pull readystack/paperlessngx:internal-...

This release is signed; verify it with cosign verify --key https://readystack.dev/keys/cosign.pub readystack/paperlessngx:v3.3.1-CE-ubuntu24.04-r1 (the signature is recorded in the public Sigstore transparency log). Support: [email protected]⁠, as set out in the ReadyStack Agreement⁠.

⁠Deployment

ONE product container (supervisord runs the granian ASGI webserver [:8000] + a Celery worker + Celery beat scheduler + the document consumer) PLUS two required datastore sidecars the customer provides: a PostgreSQL server and a Redis broker. NOT a single self-contained image — Paperless is multi-service. This lean CE image ships only English OCR (tesseract-ocr-eng); other languages need an image built with extra tesseract-ocr- packages, which the archive's offline rebuild does not do (it reproduces this English-only image).

docker network create paperless-net
docker run -d --name db --network paperless-net -e POSTGRES_DB=paperless -e POSTGRES_USER=paperless -e 'POSTGRES_PASSWORD=YOUR_POSTGRES_PW' -v paperless-db:/var/lib/postgresql/data postgres:16
docker run -d --name redis --network paperless-net -v paperless-redis:/data redis:7-alpine
docker run -d --name paperlessngx --network paperless-net -p 8000:8000 -e PAPERLESS_DBHOST=db -e PAPERLESS_DBNAME=paperless -e PAPERLESS_DBUSER=paperless -e 'PAPERLESS_DBPASS=YOUR_POSTGRES_PW' -e PAPERLESS_REDIS=redis://redis:6379 -e 'PAPERLESS_SECRET_KEY=YOUR_LONG_RANDOM_SECRET' -e PAPERLESS_ADMIN_USER=admin -e 'PAPERLESS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=YOUR_ADMIN_PW' -v paperless-data:/usr/src/paperless/data -v paperless-media:/usr/src/paperless/media readystack/paperlessngx:v3.3.1-CE-ubuntu24.04-r1

The three containers share the paperless-net network; db, redis and paperlessngx are the container names the backup, restore, export, password and token steps use. Use the same database password in POSTGRES_PASSWORD and PAPERLESS_DBPASS, keep each -e value in single quotes, and keep PAPERLESS_SECRET_KEY unchanged once set. The first start migrates the database and creates the admin user from PAPERLESS_ADMIN_USER / PAPERLESS_ADMIN_PASSWORD, which takes a few minutes; the sign-in page /accounts/login/ answers 200 afterwards. The archive ships no Compose file.

A clean-room rebuild from this release's archive on an egress-blocked host reproduced its linux/amd64 digest sha256:70067fee6261b6f5f9a4131f2d53b3b151b7bd0e7fa6d8d6feb387c763921820 on 2026-10-16.
