Consuming works but where are the documents?

[ictIntdev]

I have installed the paperless instance on a docker (container in a QNAP NAS). It looks okay, the docker is running, I managed to create a superuser (paperless) and the documents I created in the consume directory are disappearing so it looks like all working fine. But in the webinterface I don't see the consumed documents.... What could be wrong? Any help is welcome!

Do both containers (consumer and server) share the media and data folder? If they are not set as volume on both they live only in their own container and the server cannot see the metadata and files from the consumer container

Thanks, according to the docker-compose.yml they do:
both containers have:
volumes:
- data:/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Container/container-station-data/application/paperless/data
- media:/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Container/container-station-data/application/paperless/media

But maybe there's a "docker-compose" or command or anything else to check if it's really truth?

Well, you should be able to able to see the contents of those folders in your file system.
I'm wondering why your image internal pathes are that different to mine, which image are you using?

mine are (image: pitkley/paperless)

    volumes:
        - ./data:/usr/src/paperless/data
        - ./media:/usr/src/paperless/media

I'm using a QNAP NAS and that's the directory where all the containers are in.
I added the output of
docker inspect -f '{{ .Mounts }}' containerid
for both containers. Maybe you can see there anything strange.
volumes_consumer.txt
volumes_webserver.txt

[ictIntdev]

I found the files.... in another directory. But why?
/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Container/container-station-data/lib/docker/volumes/39208b929ca164b099bfbf7c5edee060c550f81dc0d6eeebb3f13e5f24fb35a0/_data/documents/originals

Thanks, according to the docker-compose.yml they do:
both containers have:
volumes:

• data:/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Container/container-station-data/application/paperless/data
• media:/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Container/container-station-data/application/paperless/media

But maybe there's a "docker-compose" or command or anything else to check if it's really truth?

I don't really get those lines. From my knowledge it is
path_on_host:path_in_container
So why are those CACHEDEV...folders on the righthandside?

@totti4ever is correct. The reason that the files are in /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Container/container-station-data/lib/docker/volumes/39208b929ca164b099bfbf7c5edee060c550f81dc0d6eeebb3f13e5f24fb35a0/_data/documents/originals is that you are using named volumes and then Docker manages the volumes for you. If you want to specify where the files are located on the NAS, then you need to use a path as the first parameter (before :). It should work with named volumes, but your container path is probably wrong.
