Paperless specifically: yes, shoving everything in it.

But I have honestly no idea what kind of data you have that are suitable for paperless AND have different versions.

I just checked mine, for me it’s… Zero. Not a single item, by definition, is in Paperless that can receive an update.

If it’s updatable personally I have everything version controlled - and I mean EVERYTHING, from CV over tutorials to construction ideas - hosted locally on forgejo.

Good point. My documents share on the NAS just isn’t organized in a way that it only contains documents that are in a final state like PDFs of your electricity bills or something. It might also contain a spreadsheet comparing different options of a thing I want to buy. I don’t want to loose that file hence its on the NAS, but I also don’t need to keep track of it in Paperless especially not if it isn’t finished and can change next week. I also don’t need to have the overhead of a version control system because its not that important either.

That is actually what I am planning to setup as well. I think I could live with an approach like:

Everything that doesn’t change is shoved into Paperless and managed in there

Important documents that can change are handled by a version control system

There is one share on the NAS that handles all types of other documents that should be preserved but don’t fall into the other categories. As a bonus, I could even checkout the version controlled files there so that I have a single place for all my non-Paperless documents.

  Sounds reasonable. I’d you, like me, need to protect yourself from sabotaging your own system you could even make NAS documents read only to force a manual step in before editing there.
  
  For me the amount of items that should be there are zero following my own concept … But for some (especially shared sheets specifically) I’m too lazy.
  
  Perhaps I should listen to my own advice here zzz

    That is one of the reasons why I want to switch to version control for more important documents. To have a proper file history, depending on the file type look at a diff to check if something was an accidental edit or an uncommitted change and also that I can work locally and have the NAS only as a mirror and backup.
