## [Papra: an open-source document archive to self-host](<https://sebastien.rigaux.be/en/tech-watch/links/papra-an-open-source-document-archive-to-self-host>)

Papra brings document storage and management together in an open-source archiving platform. Full-text search, advanced filters, tags, and automatic imports from email or a folder help organize files and retrieve them later.

The project can be deployed with Docker and also provides a CLI, API, SDKs, and webhooks for integration with other tools. Its online demo runs entirely in browser-local storage, with no backend.
