down under webserver: you change data:/usr/src/paperless/data to /path/to/where/you/wantorhave/your/files:/usr/src/paperless/data. Same for the media path and you’re done. paperless now uses a folder on your machine instead of a volume.
If you want to be clean you will then also remove the volume declaration at the bottom of the file.
i think OP wants it to leave their current files alone. But Paperless doesn’t work like that, it deletes the originals and arranges the files its own way.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding this, but their FAQ specifically says:
It also says that documents are removed from the consumption directory, renamed, and put into a folder that you shouldn’t modify.
And that’s my problem with the project. I want to be able to keep my file name and organizational structure.
Have a look here: [https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/blob/main/docker/compose/docker-compose.postgres.yml](paperless-ngx docker-compose.yml)

I do want to leave my current files alone.
Note: 8 months later and I invested the time into setting up Immich instead. Much better return on time investment.
