Quick Install:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhmdali94/Docker/main/tools/paperless-ai/paperless-ai-ubuntu.sh
chmod +x paperless-ai-ubuntu.sh
sudo bash paperless-ai-ubuntu.shTutorial Steps

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhmdali94/Docker/main/tools/paperless-ai/paperless-ai-ubuntu.sh2 Make it Executable
chmod +x paperless-ai-ubuntu.sh3 Run the Installer
The script installs Docker if needed and starts clusterzx/paperless-ai on port 3055 with data in ./data. You connect it to Paperless-ngx and an LLM through its web setup rather than the compose file.
sudo bash paperless-ai-ubuntu.sh4 Connect Paperless-ngx and an LLM
Open Paperless-AI and, in setup, enter your Paperless-ngx URL and API token plus an LLM — either a local Ollama or OpenAI:
