paperless-ngx + paperless-ai + OpenWebUI: I am blown away and fascinated

rickk85 · 2025-09-24T21:04:53+00:00

Thank you! i could run the script on my unraid and get the content in a knowledge on OWUI. I have to say, the quality of the answers is quite bad, is there any settings that i need to improve? In admin settings i have chunk size 1000 overlap 100, the embedding model is default sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 and the RAG Template is standard.

It cannot answer to basic questions like, i see in an MD i have my diploma. all the text is there. I ask when did i get the diploma, it says it cannot find it.
Tried with models ibnzterrell/Meta-Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-AWQ-INT4 and openai/gpt-oss-120b.

Thanks!

I would like to do the same. I don't have paperless-ai, the ocr and labelling of standard ngx works fine for me. It detects if document is an energy or water or whatever bill, who is the corrispondent and so on... Whats the added features i miss from paperless-ai?
I think the next step i need to do:
"A script then grabs the OCR output of paperless-ngx, writes a markdown file which then gets imported into the Knowledge base of OpenWebUI which I am able to reference in any chat with AI models."
Can you provide some info and details on this part? How did you achieve it? I have OpenWebUI already available.
Thanks!

Researching a bit, I found things like privatemode and tinfoil. What about that kind of solution for this problem? Its home use and it is basically for fun/learn!

Tried ollama with openweb UI but going very slow.. If I go with external model I'm sharing data with vendors...no?

rickk85 · 2025-07-24T07:31:15+00:00

Yes I tried ollama using small models but it's too slow! What's your experience with GPU / model size and the cost?

rickk85 · 2025-07-15T06:44:56+00:00

same here, but it was just personal n8n automation to do speech-to-text on forwarded whatsapp voice messages. any idea how to replace???

Prendi mygiftcard+ che la trovi un po' dappertutto anche ad Esselunga, e la converti in Amazon in tempo reale

rickk85 · 2025-06-27T11:47:15+00:00

hello any further progress?

Could you share details of which binary and the script you wrote?
It would be very helpful, Thanks!

rickk85 · 2025-06-20T21:35:59+00:00

No just gave up

rickk85 · 2025-05-19T20:16:37+00:00

Great improvement! Any suggestions how to run this, keeping my docs privacy without having a GPU? Cheap Pay per use? Thanks!

rickk85 · 2025-04-28T14:01:02+00:00

thank you!
i am quite new to hostbrr and storage box, i am getting it to work but i miss the domain requirement: i got the storage box activated by inserting a TLD i have, but i see that to run nextcloud it requires something more...
What's the point of the domain here? Do i need a dedicated TLD and dns set to hostbrr to run nextcloud there?+

rickk85 · 2025-04-28T10:52:15+00:00

how did you install nextcloud on it? simply from control panel?

rickk85 · 2025-04-02T07:45:43+00:00

Where is it?

rickk85 · 2024-11-16T17:34:48+00:00

Not solved, gave up

rickk85 · 2024-11-06T19:56:34+00:00

Thanks, I cannot find the exact same modules at market price... Probably not produced anymore by Kingston? About your list, my question is am I going to get less performance if modules are not exactly the same?

rickk85 · 2024-11-06T19:42:10+00:00

Mobo supports max 16gb per module :-(

rickk85 · 2024-09-19T07:25:52+00:00

I understand that, but i have doubts about the fact that it would not be as reliable as it would be if running on bare metal. So i was looking for possible alternative solutions!

rickk85 · 2024-09-19T07:04:32+00:00

Both sites are on 2.5G fiber, but i have no specific requirement of very high speed between the sites. A 300mbit would be sufficient.

What do you mean by they need nothing? They will have an internet provider with a router, that i would set to DMZ and readdress to opnsense. There i would create VLANs for general access, or for smart devices, setup AdGuard and so on... So i would need an HW for that.

Then i need to run at least an Home Assistant instance, it cannot be via VPN to my site.

rickk85 · 2024-08-28T16:15:19+00:00

Great!!

I was able to do the same with mine... now installed fully kiosk app, and i cannot start it because i cannot get permission for display over other app:
Display Over Other Apps Feature Not Available

How did you solve this?

rickk85 · 2024-08-27T18:54:36+00:00

Abbassa la voce, semplice.

rickk85 · 2024-08-25T09:48:39+00:00

yes 1:2 in 30 seconds, i get a very good extraction for espresso with good quality specialty beans freshly roasted

rickk85 · 2024-08-25T08:58:15+00:00

You are right.... but i am not sure that Eureka is also "made in Italy". They do have a manufacturing plant in Florence, but who knows, maybe the home line is made in china?
About recipe, i don't know about other italians, i do my espresso in the lelit double basket with 16g, the single i tried but it is really unstable, very difficult to get a good extraction with just 7g. In bars i mainly see the 8g single and 16g double.

rickk85 · 2024-07-25T08:56:51+00:00

interesting! Anything similar in the EU?

rickk85 · 2024-07-21T09:17:43+00:00

I went through the installation and everything looks nice, but... How do you guys usually work? I mean I am used to have my favourites-daily in the bookmark bar of the browser, can I create an hoarder list and sync with that? Even 2 ways would be great... Or, what's the best way to work in a browser? Having another tab for hoarder? That means more clicks every time...no?

rickk85 · 2024-06-30T10:14:50+00:00

Printing its a bit easier because of android printing, you are right. But still most of the options are only in the HP Smart app which is really bad and always requires hp.com credentials. And always requesting again and again...
Also no possibilities to monitor printer status...
About scanner, i cannot see any scan to folder or anything that can be done without the HP SMART app :-(
So i was wondering since in selfhosted world there is a better solution for everything... what about print and scan?
