As much as I adore paperless-ngx for its UX, I hate it for its tech-stack. Idling it already uses 300 MB RAM, when changing a few metadata fields on a document it easily spikes to 700 oder 800 MB. That’s insane for the work it actually does. Is there anything more lightweight? All I need is metadata management and a gallery with filters and previews.
I use docspell and I find it great. It runs on VM on an old microserver running proxmox.
There is also Mayan edms based on Django, but it has to many features for my use case.

I stopped using Paperless-NGX for this reason. It eats RAM and CPU insanely even after configuring it to stop doing OCR and no ML. I wish there is a Go alternative.

Exactly what I was wishing for. Or Rust. Don’t care. At least something that doesn’t eat resources for breakfast.
I actually contemplated starting such a thing. But before I dive into another project I likely don’t finish, I was hoping for something out-of-the-box.

Wasn’t this reported as a bug on their repo? Does anyone know why is it eating such an amount of ram? It might be that this can be fixed.
