Benoit Anastay Add-on: Paperless-ngx

It looks like a ACL issue
You may need to set UID and GID to 0:0 with some servers

I have already searched several forums, but unfortunately have not found a solution yet.

I have installed paperless-ngx on HomeAssistant.
The consume and media folder on share/paperless are successfully on a smb-share.

When I add files via the web interface, the data is successfully processed and appears in the media folder

Now my problem:
When I copy the files into the consume folder nothing happens. I already know that I have to add
ā€œ#PAPERLESS_CONSUMER_POLLING=10ā€ into the paperless.config. Where I can find this file?
In addon_configs/cc0815_g17_paperless-ngx I only able to find paperless.config.example and when I add the row above this not work.

Does anyone know where I can find the correct file?

You need to do that from the add-on setting tab inside HA Gui

How do you manually add these permissions? I’m running into the [django.request] Forbidden: /api/ui_settings/ error

Hello @BenoitAnastay,
I was trying to access the config file to add a WebDAV address as inbox.
But i cannot find the file in the folder Addons_config.
Is there another possible location for the config files to be?
I have already tried reinstalling the addon and restarting Home assistant.

There’s only exemple file in the folder, you need to rename it the first time.

It avoid its replacement when the add-on is updated

After update to 2025.11.0 I can’t connect anymore to Paperless-ngx.
502: Bad gateway
The add-on seems to not be ready, it might still be starting. Do you want to try again? :worried:
