## 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
