Setup

paperless login --url https://paperless.example.com --token YOUR_TOKEN
paperless config set-url https://paperless.example.com
paperless config set-token YOUR_TOKEN

Temporary overrides

PAPERLESS_URL=https://paperless.example.com PAPERLESS_TOKEN=secret paperless status
paperless -u https://paperless.example.com status

paperless status calls only /api/status/. Use paperless dashboard when you explicitly need status, statistics, and task data together.

Tags

paperless tag delete 12

Notes

• Use PAPERLESS_URL and PAPERLESS_TOKEN when you need compatibility with external tooling or ephemeral shells.
• Use tag edit rather than delete-and-recreate when preserving existing references matters.
