Mayan EDMS
Electronic document management system for your documents with preview generation, OCR, and automatic categorization among other features.
Developed outside the platforms our data source measures, so there is no activity history to score. This says nothing about the project — many unrated projects are actively maintained.

Is Mayan EDMS actively maintained?
We cannot measure this one. Mayan EDMS is developed outside the platforms our data source collects activity from, and its repository lives at gitlab.com — so there is no commit history or release cadence here to score.
Read that as missing data, not as a warning. Several of the best-maintained projects in this catalogue are unrated for exactly this reason. To judge it, open the repository and look at the date of the most recent commit yourself.
What Mayan EDMS actually does
Mayan EDMS is an electronic document management system designed to organise digital files. It provides features such as document previews, optical character recognition, and automated categorisation.
Best fit: It suits teams or individuals who need a centralised, self-hosted repository to process, index, and search through large volumes of digital documents.
Worth knowing: The absence of recent tagged releases and commit activity suggests you should carefully evaluate its long-term maintenance status and community support before committing production data to it.
Deployment notes
As a containerised application built for Docker and Kubernetes, you will typically need to configure persistent volumes for file storage and set up an external database alongside a reverse proxy.
