        <title>Paperless-ngx + Local AI (Optional): Better OCR, Self-Hosted, No Cloud</title>

        <description>Build a complete Paperless-ngx stack in Docker and take control of your documents. We’ll get Paperless running first (works great on its own), then optionally add local AI with Ollama + Open WebUI and upgrade OCR using Paperless-GPT and Paperless-AI for more accurate, searchable text - no cloud required.
