As much as I adore paperless-ngx for its UX, I hate it for its tech-stack. Idling it already uses 300 MB RAM, when changing a few metadata fields on a document it easily spikes to 700 oder 800 MB. That’s insane for the work it actually does. Is there anything more lightweight? All I need is metadata management and a gallery with filters and previews.

I stopped using Paperless-NGX for this reason. It eats RAM and CPU insanely even after configuring it to stop doing OCR and no ML. I wish there is a Go alternative.
Exactly what I was wishing for. Or Rust. Don’t care. At least something that doesn’t eat resources for breakfast.
I actually contemplated starting such a thing. But before I dive into another project I likely don’t finish, I was hoping for something out-of-the-box.
Wasn’t this reported as a bug on their repo? Does anyone know why is it eating such an amount of ram? It might be that this can be fixed.
