I’ve tried installing it about a dozen times over the past year, but it always gives an “unable to get image” error. So I’m wondering if there’s an alternative that does everything paperless does…but lets me use it

    Yeah, that was the error I got from the official install script

        Hey, thank you! That’s definitely progress. Not I have a new issue because I signed in through Github so not I have to reset a password that I never made haha I’ll report back when support helps me out

        I tried it a few different ways, but I’ll run some commands if you point me in the right direction

          Sure I’ll help you out best I can. First, I assume you’re on Linux and know docker a bit. I don’t know you so just trying to see what we’re working with here :)

            Thank you! I’ve tried several distros, I couldn’t get Docker to install on of most of them so I’m currently running Ubuntu. It took 5 or 6 guides, but I finally found some commands that let me install Docker. But I haven’t found a Docker image I’m interested in that works for me yet. I figured this would be a simple one to start with

              Yeah, Ubuntu is fine, I run Ubuntu myself. From my experience, this is one of the painful containers to set up haha But okay let’s roll with it. Personally, I did it with the “From GHCR/Docker Hub” option, and it took some tweaking. If you tried this option, where did you stop and what error did you get? Or do you want me to go step by step?

              PS. For a more complete guide on homeserver, docker and stuff I recommend Smart Home Beginner. That’s where I learned. You don’t need his “Auto Traefik” stuff tho, so just ignore it

                Thanks again, I got Docker sttup and I’m logged in. I just ran the paperless-ngx script from hub.docker again. It asked me questions, I used the machine’s TailScale IP and default port for the URL, but I can’t access it as intended so I made a mistake I suppose

                Edit: I saved your link for later, thank you

                  Most likely some networking problem. I would need to know your exact setup to maybe know what’s going on

                    OK, what would you like to know? Everything on my network is connected via TailScale. I have a Win11 PC, a Win10 PC, and a Pi running pi-hole (as an exit node). The Ubuntu distro is running in VM on the Win10 PC
