Every scan and PDF you drop into Teedy becomes searchable text in a self-hosted document archive, filed by nested tags instead of folders. OCR reads images in more than twenty languages, and the search box offers suggestions and highlights matches, even inside ODT, DOCX, and PPTX files. Video files are supported as well. Each record carries Dublin Core fields plus custom metadata of your own design, with comments and earlier file versions attached. When a document needs a second pair of eyes, workflow steps with assigned reviewers move it along in order until someone signs off. Pull in EML emails, let the server poll an inbox, or point the bulk importer at a whole folder, and incoming paperwork needs no manual filing. Share a single document through a public link, or keep it behind user and group permissions with a storage quota for each person. LDAP and two-factor authentication guard sign-in, 256-bit AES encryption protects stored files, and an audit log records who changed what. Webhooks alert other services, a documented REST API lets scripts take part, and an Android client carries the archive on a phone. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-2.0 licensed.

Mayan EDMS stores, classifies, and retrieves millions of documents with automatic OCR, workflow automation, and audit-ready access controls that organizations have relied on for over a decade. Tesseract integration extracts searchable text from scanned PDFs and images in over 100 languages, transforming paper archives into instantly queryable digital collections without manual data entry. The workflow engine routes documents through approval chains using configurable state machines that trigger notifications, enforce retention policies, and maintain complete audit trails for regulatory compliance. Version tracking preserves every revision with full diff capabilities, while GnuPG digital signatures provide cryptographic proof of authenticity and tamper detection for sensitive records. Role-based permissions combined with object-level ACLs and LDAP integration ensure documents remain visible only to authorized users, down to individual file granularity. Full-text search powered by Whoosh or ElasticSearch handles advanced queries across massive document stores with faceted filtering and relevance ranking. The Django REST Framework API enables programmatic upload, metadata extraction, and workflow triggering from external systems. Beyond simple folder hierarchies, metadata schemas, document types, tags, and cabinet structures provide multi-dimensional classification tailored to how your organization actually works. Background processing through Celery handles OCR, conversion, and preview generation asynchronously, keeping the web interface responsive under heavy ingest loads.
