Once again a problem with the document_exporter

[kangaroo72]

I'm running two ngx-setups. One done with community script on version 2.20.1, and the other on bare metal.
On the version from the community script, I'm unable to run the document_exporter.

Searching document_exporter with find results in
`root@paperless-ngx-lxc:/# find / -name document_exporter

find: ‘/dev/.lxc/proc/19175’: Permission denied
find: ‘/dev/.lxc/proc/19182’: Permission denied
/tmp/tmp.uCeRfJv9mU/paperless-ngx/docker/rootfs/usr/local/bin/document_exporter
/opt/paperless/docker/rootfs/usr/local/bin/document_exporter
root@paperless-ngx-lxc:/`

Can someone explain me the correct syntax for running document_exporter?

Thank you

why docker?

cd /opt/paperless
uv run python3 manage.py document_exporter path

@MickLesk thx for your answer, but I got an error by that....

python3: can't open file '/opt/paperless/manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

[MickLesk]

I dont know your install

[kangaroo72]

It was the community script for Proxmox. Is there another way to make a backup, which I can import to a setup with a working document_exporter?
Maybe exporting the database and copying the files?

[MickLesk]

Simply Deliver more information, ls -la of the Files in opt and deeper

I made a complete ls... file attached.
Again thx for your support.

i dont see any issue, if you are in the main folder (the place where paperless.conf is stored) and you run uv run python3 manage.py document_exporter $path it should work. The file is there: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 253 Dec 9 22:14 manage.py
