Description
Hey @ciur

I am trying to consume the paper merge REST API following the docs, When I upload a pdf file (tested using postman) the preview is not visible, I see an error when viewing the document in paper merge client

error: preview not ready yet

Steps to reproduce

execute the login api http://localhost:16000/api/auth/login/
use the token to create a folder by calling http://localhost:16000/api/nodes/
use the newly created folder's docId to create a document http://localhost:16000/api/nodes/

Heres the equivalent curl request for step 3

curl --location 'http://localhost:16000/api/nodes/' \
--header 'Authorization: Token b71b705720758fa18b5130b9435d68cc470f8681876aa9d917c22d0f8c71592f' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json' \
--header 'Cookie: csrftoken=SKLLHZuQraSiNAGSHeoKoVS4xTMN8rVSUPitszpJKv5zqsMUwAHEDL7zKkaEJczC; sessionid=r5mpf2lixfrued96gz0wxfm1t7urivim' \
--data '{
    "data": {
      "type": "documents",
      "attributes": {
        "title": "MyResume.pdf" 
      },
      "relationships": {
        "parent": {
          "data": {
              "type": "folders",
              "id": "802d655e-72ce-400a-877c-2bc1e43671ac"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }'

Associate the created document with an actual document

Heres the equivalent curl request for step 4

curl --location --request PUT 'http://localhost:16000/api/documents/7cc9d985-43c7-4a58-be70-d02c1434f24e/upload/MyResume.pdf' \
--header 'Authorization: Token b71b705720758fa18b5130b9435d68cc470f8681876aa9d917c22d0f8c71592f' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/pdf' \
--header 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=MyResume.pdf' \
--header 'Cookie: csrftoken=SKLLHZuQraSiNAGSHeoKoVS4xTMN8rVSUPitszpJKv5zqsMUwAHEDL7zKkaEJczC; sessionid=r5mpf2lixfrued96gz0wxfm1t7urivim' \
--form 'file=@"/Users/mahesh/Desktop/temp-docs/MyResume.pdf"'

Note that In both steps 3 and 4 the status code is 201. However the uploaded document can be downloaed and viewed but it would be good to have the preview feature working

Expected
The uploaded document can be previewed in papermerge client

Actual

Let me know if you need any further info to investigate the issue.

Maybe you give a try to version 3?

via docker: https://papermerge.github.io/documentation/3.0-dev/setup/docker/
via docker compose: https://papermerge.github.io/documentation/3.0-dev/setup/docker-compose/
or ansible: https://papermerge.github.io/documentation/3.0-dev/setup/ansible/

I will officially release version 3.0 it in a month or so.
One of the differences between 3.0 and previous version(s) is that in 3.0 the frontend was completely rewritten - it is all new.

Yes it is because of arm architecture of your cpu. Currently there are no docker image for arm.
