Any idea about a good way to “connect” a scanner with paperless?
Scan some paper and a PDF/Document will be automatically created in Paperless?
Does anybody has a working setup and is willing to present it here?

I have set up my Paperless instance to retrieve all PDF files received on my email accounts. If your printer can send emails, that would be one of the least difficult solutions.
Ideally, if the printer has a webhook/API output, you could push the scanned document directly to Paperless.
i scan documents on my android phone with Scanbot Document scanner. I share the PDF from inside the app to my Paperless setup over Tailscale.
I have now a Brother ADS-1800W … Scan to papeless via EMail works now. I use a extra mailbox.org account. But email are not really protected.
I tried GitHub - YunoHost-Apps/my_webapp_ynh: Custom Web app with SFTP access to get a SFTP. But if i understand it correctly, the SFTP is just the OpenSSH Server and my config disallowed password logins… So not useable, i think.
Oh interesting: REST API - Paperless-ngx I didn’t known anything about it until now
I will take a look into this. Sounds like a really good idea. But don’t know how this can be restricted by authentication.
What’s about a “Yunohost Shim-Package” ?
I have two ideas:
A app that creates a FTP server and all uploaded will be pushed to the Paperless API.
And/or a eMail server only used for paperless?
Both FTP- and eMail-Server should be very restricted and should only support this limited usecase. e.g.: the FTP will store uploads but will never allow for any download.
What do you think?
