OPERATIONAL PROFILE

LINUX SUPPORTSUPPORTED
RESOURCE NOTES

Plan persistent storage for originals, thumbnails, the database, and OCR processing.

DEPENDENCIES

Docker Compose with PostgreSQL, Redis, and persistent media volumes.

AUTHENTICATION

Built-in user accounts; remote authentication options should be validated against the official documentation.

BACKUP NOTES

Back up the database and every persistent media/originals volume together.

TRADE-OFFS

OCR and document conversion make it heavier than a simple file archive; storage planning matters early.
