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.

It looks like docspell might even be heavier than paperless-ngx, given that I need to spin up at least 3 JVMs. Thanks for mentioning it anyway; don't get me wrong. But my current quest is for a lightweight solution.

Current contender might be SeedDMS, but it's a more generic DMS, not so much focused as paperless-ngx. I miss the gallery view, for example.
