Prometheus Paperless-ngx Exporter
Prometheus exporter for Paperless-ngx. Scrapes the Paperless-ngx API and exposes document, tag, correspondent, storage path, task, and processing statistics as Prometheus metrics, ready to be scraped by a Prometheus server.

- Runs inside an existing LXC container (Debian/Ubuntu only) — typically installed into the Paperless-ngx LXC itself
- Prompts for the Paperless-ngx URL and an API authentication token (stored in
/etc/prometheus-paperless-ngx-exporter/) - Metrics endpoint:
http://<container-ip>:8081/metrics - Update with:
update-prometheus-paperless-ngx-exporter— Uninstall with:uninstall-prometheus-paperless-ngx-exporter - Re-running the installer offers update/uninstall via the framework guard
