Import Scrtipt does not work

Describe the issue
Trying to import a backup from other installation. Got this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/paperless/src/documents/management/commands/document_importer.py", line 17, in
from documents.models import Document
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'documents'

Let me see if I've got this right: you have the paperless-ngx software running inside an LXC container and now you want to import a backup into paperless-ngx. Is that correct?

correct

Maybe pip install documents ?

yes tried that but that did not fix the issue. I saw that the rights are set to user 1001 which does not exist.

Hi there. Wondering if you ever got this to work? I'm having a similar issue; trying to use document_importer to import a backup that was done on my old paperless-ngx installation using document_exporter.

Thanks.
