Just need to vent.

My Paperless-ngx was getting old. So I updated it to the newest stable version and encountered database problems. After trying a couple of hours to get it running, I went back to the old, functioning version and while deploying the stack, overwrote my database.

Even though I was under the impression that my daily backup included a database dump, I apparently did something wrong in the config and there is no database dump available.

Du-dum. Now I have to completely start from scratch categorizing and tagging thousands of documents. Well, at least the pdfs were backupped, so just partly fucked. Still pretty sad and upset tho.
