Hello,

I'm not using papermerge personally but I've been tasked to find document manager running on docker and it's the first one I tested. I really liked it and I'm pretty exited to see the future evolution. I wanted to talk about a little bug I encountered but it got (kinda) solved so the main things I'll talk about is the feature I hope to eventually see in papermerge in the future.

So first of the bug. While testing papermerge, I tried doing a backup but got this while running the following command: docker run papermerge/papermerge backup papermerge/backup/

`/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/requests/init.py:109: RequestsDependencyWarning: urllib3 (1.26.13) or chardet (None)/charset_normalizer (3.0.1) doesn't match a supported version!

return Database.Cursor.execute(self, query, params)

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

I was on window, running papermerge with docker compose on a debian that i installed with the window store and using docker compose, my WSL was version 1.2.5.0 I think. I'm a total newbie on docker so idk if what I gave can help you understand or if I didn't do something right.
As I said it's kinda solved since I later used a debian VM to host papermerge and didn't seem to have any problems.

Regarding the feature request, I need to save pretty important pieces of code (don't ask which idk) and was told to we would probably use .zip. So I wanted to know whether it was planned or would have any interest for papermerge to be able to save zip file in papermerge.

Thank you for your work and good luck for whatever may be coming in the future.
P.S: idk why but I really like your profile picture XD
