Deploy Docspell in one click installation.
Self-hosted document organizer that auto-tags scans, emails, and PDFs and makes them full-text searchable.
What you can build with Docspell
Docspell is an open-source self-hosted document management server designed for piles of paper that have been scanned, downloaded, or e-mailed. It runs OCR on incoming files, extracts dates, correspondents, and amounts using NLP, and stores the structured metadata alongside the original document so the whole archive becomes full-text searchable. Tags, custom fields, folders, and saved queries make it practical to manage household paperwork, freelance invoices, or small-business records over many years.
Self-hosting Docspell on your own VPS keeps the most sensitive paperwork — tax records, medical bills, legal documents, government forms — inside infrastructure you control rather than a SaaS document service. The deployment ships PostgreSQL for storage, Solr for fulltext search, and the Docspell rest server plus joex worker for OCR and conversion, with first-visit signup creating the account that owns the document archive.
Key features of Docspell
OCR + NLP extraction
Runs OCR on every scan, then extracts dates, correspondents, amounts, and contacts so each document arrives in the inbox already pre-classified.
Full-text search
Solr-backed full-text search across every document — invoices, contracts, receipts, mail attachments — with filters by tag, folder, and field.
Email and folder ingest
Pull mailbox attachments via IMAP, accept HTTP uploads from scanners, and watch a directory for files dropped via SCP or rsync.
Tags and custom fields
Annotate documents with tags, organization labels, custom fields (amounts, contract dates, expiry dates) and saved searches that refresh automatically.
Multi-user and multi-tenant
Each "collective" is an isolated workspace with its own users, documents, and metadata so families or small teams share one instance without crossing data.
Document conversion
Converts inbound HTML, Office, image, and email files to searchable PDFs via WeasyPrint, Unoconv, and Tesseract for a uniform archive.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
