Your sovereign EDMS, OCR included
An electronic document management system powered by Mayan EDMS, installed and maintained by DINAO. Store, index, and automate document processing — they remain on our French servers.
What is Mayan EDMS?
Mayan EDMS is an open-source enterprise electronic document management system (EDMS) that stores, indexes, and categorizes files while preserving their business, legal, and structural context. Its key feature is automatic OCR (Tesseract engine by default, interchangeable backend), which can be distributed across multiple machines to balance the load, making every document searchable via full-text.
The system handles versioning, user-defined and standardizable metadata (Dublin Core, ISO 23081), tags, archives (cabinets), full-text search, and a powerful workflow engine (state machine) capable of automatically driving processing. It ingests documents from multiple sources : watched folders, email, scanner, and includes antivirus scanning.
Technically, Mayan EDMS is built on Django/Python, exposes a complete REST API, and enforces role-based access control (RBAC). It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite and deploys via an official Docker image in a multi-container architecture (web, Celery workers, database, broker).

This application uses AI
The container hosts the application, not the AI engine (which requires dedicated GPUs) : inference is handled externally, with your own provider key. Prioritize a sovereign engine — Mistral AI, NumSpot, Scaleway, or OVHcloud AI Endpoints (France, GDPR) ; an international provider (OpenAI, Anthropic…) only if a specific capability requires it. Inference subscriptions are not included in hosting.
Technical details
You might be wondering…
Do scanned documents become searchable?
Yes. Automatic OCR (Tesseract) extracts text from each document to make it searchable via full-text. OCR can be distributed across multiple nodes to handle large volumes.
Can I automate document processing?
Yes. The workflow engine (state machine) automatically routes and processes documents according to your rules, triggered by ingestion or state transitions.
How do documents enter the EDMS?
Via multiple sources : watched folders, email, scanner, or manual upload — and a complete REST API for your integrations.
Where are my documents stored?
On your DINAO instance in France. Role-based access control and antivirus at ingestion enhance GDPR compliance.
What database is used?
PostgreSQL (recommended), MySQL, or SQLite. DINAO deploys the multi-container architecture (web, workers, database, broker) and maintains it for you.
