This is very interesting to me.

I'd love it if I could also use my mobile devices to bring up paper docs instantly (mobile phone, tablet, kindle).

It’s not free/oss, and it’s on the Apple ecosystem, but DEVONTHINK does a fantastic job of this, and supports storing all of your documents in a webdav store which you can host yourself. It uses Aabbyy fine reader for ocr which I have found to provide better results than tensorflow based ocr.

I've been using DEVONThink for just this for a few years, and it's very good at it. However, it's macOS only and has far more features than I need (simple searching, tagging, and organization). I tried paperless a year ago and the search and rendering was far too slow, and many docs just gave obscure errors. Perhaps it's time to give it another shot. I'd love to have something on Linux that could handle my large repository of documents.

Easily possible. Paperless-ngx works great on mobile as well. I have WireGuard on my phone and connect that way, then simply use a mobile browser, no app needed.

Nice!

There is even a nice Oss Swift app now in the app store. v1 but looks nice is fast and simple.

I made that! Glad you like it!

I'm delighted to discover that your application supports custom HTTP headers, enabling the bypassing of authentication on my Cloudflare proxied/tunneled instance using service tokens

I use Paperless with Tailscale.

On my mobile I use Firefox, and for me it works great.

I traveled for a month in Europe this summer and never had any issues.
