Constant writes to sqlite file prevents HDD from spinning down

[erdog]

I have a NAS that runs paperless-ng in a docker container. Paperless constantly touches the sqlite database file, even when paperless is neither being access/used or processing documents. This prevents the NAS hard drives from spinning down. Is it possible to stop access to the database file when Paperless is not being access or processing? I infrequently use my NAS, so having the drives spin down extends their life, and more importantly makes my personal office silent.
