🌟 Briefly describe the feature

Add support for the standard paperless-ngx management commands

📝 Detailed description

The current Paperless-ngx installation script successfully deploys a working instance of Paperless-ngx. However, after installation, users cannot easily execute Paperless-ngx management commands (like document_importer, document_exporter, etc.) without manually navigating to the correct directory and using the full Python command syntax.

💡 Why is this useful?

The official Paperless-ngx documentation assumes easy access to management commands:
https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/administration/#management-commands

For Docker installations, this is straightforward (docker compose exec webserver ), but for bare-metal LXC installations via the helper script, users need guidance or tooling to access these commands efficiently. Currently, you have to use python3 manage.py document-exporter ... instead of document-exporter ...

The installation of the shell shortcuts in a docker context is maintained here with this helper script

I understand and like the uv approach. However with my new installation uv is missing in the 'container' . What did I do wrong?

tnx for the extremely fast reply, my fault. Learned something new. For those entering with pct

root@paperless-ngx:/opt/paperless/src# cd /opt/paperless/src
root@paperless-ngx:/opt/paperless/src# /usr/local/bin/uv run python3 manage.py document_exporter <target>
