## What is Paperless-ngx
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> Paperless-ngx is an application that indexes your scanned documents and allows you to easily search for documents and store metadata alongside your documents. It was a fork from paperless-ngx, in turn a fork from the original Paperless, neither of which are maintained any longer.

 | 
						|
## Preparation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The following placeholders will be used:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
-   `paperless.company` is the FQDN of the Paperless-ngx install.
 | 
						|
-   `authentik.company` is the FQDN of the authentik install.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## authentik Configuration
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Step 1 - OAuth2/OpenID Provider
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Create a OAuth2/OpenID Provider (under Applications/Providers) with these settings:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Name : Paperless
 | 
						|
    Redirect URI: https://paperless.company/accounts/oidc/authentik/login/callback/
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Step 2 - Application
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Create an application (under Resources/Applications) with these settings:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Name: Paperless
 | 
						|
    Slug: paperless
 | 
						|
    Provider: Paperless
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Paperless Configuration
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Add the following environment variables to your Paperless-ngx setup. If you are using Docker Compose, then add the following to your docker-compose.yml file:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml
 | 
						|
PAPERLESS_APPS: allauth.socialaccount.providers.openid_connect
 | 
						|
PAPERLESS_SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS: >
 | 
						|
    {
 | 
						|
      "openid_connect": {
 | 
						|
        "APPS": [
 | 
						|
          {
 | 
						|
            "provider_id": "authentik",
 | 
						|
            "name": "Authentik",
 | 
						|
            "client_id": "< Client ID >",
 | 
						|
            "secret": "< Client Secret >",
 | 
						|
            "settings": {
 | 
						|
              "server_url": "https://authentik.company/application/o/paperless/.well-known/openid-configuration"
 | 
						|
            }
 | 
						|
          }
 | 
						|
        ],
 | 
						|
        "OAUTH_PKCE_ENABLED": "True"
 | 
						|
      }
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Now restart your container:
 | 
						|
`docker compose down && docker compose up -d`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Finished
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Now you can access Paperless-ngx by logging in with authentik.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To add authentik authentication to an existing user, log in to Paperless with local authentication, click the profile icon in the top-right, click My Profile, then Connect new social account.
