Where to Find the Current Paperless-ngx Documentation After the Permanent Move
Updated
The Paperless-ngx 1.10.0 documentation site at paperless-ngx.readthedocs.io has permanently moved. If you land on that page, it will redirect you shortly to the new location, and the current documentation is the one you reach after that redirect. The old 1.10.0 page is a legacy snapshot and should not be treated as the up-to-date reference.
What the old page tells you
The page itself is explicit about its status. Its main heading is simply "Paperless," and the body states that the Paperless-ngx documentation has permanently moved and that visitors will be redirected shortly. That means:
- The URL you are on is not the canonical documentation anymore.
- A redirect is the intended path forward, not a manual search.
- Anything you read on the 1.10.0 revision reflects that older version, not current behavior.
Why the version number matters
The site is labeled "Paperless-ngx 1.10.0 documentation." Documentation is tied to a specific release, so a 1.10.0 page can describe configuration options, setup steps, and API behavior that differ from later releases. If you are installing or troubleshooting a newer version, following 1.10.0 instructions can lead to mismatched settings or commands that no longer apply.
What to do instead
- Open the old URL and let the redirect complete.
- Use whatever page you land on as your reference, since that is the maintained documentation.
- If you need version-specific behavior, check the version selector or changelog in the current docs rather than relying on the 1.10.0 snapshot.
Quick reference
| Situation | What to use |
|---|---|
| You landed on the 1.10.0 page | Allow the redirect and continue on the new site |
| You need current setup or config steps | The redirected, current documentation |
| You need behavior for an older release | The version-specific docs, not the moved 1.10.0 page |
| You bookmarked the old URL | Update the bookmark to the post-redirect address |
The short answer: don't work from the 1.10.0 page. Let it redirect, and use the current Paperless-ngx documentation for setup, configuration, usage, and API questions.
