MyDocs - django docker web application

MyDocs is a simple but functional web application useful to catalog documents, it is developed using the Django framework and Python. I'm using it to store all my personal data in a SQLite database (yes I know some do not recommend saving files to a database, but I have my reasons;-)
Any kind of file can be saved up to a size of 300MB configurable, documents, invoices, medical reports, pay slips, photos, software, anything.

A document saved to MyDocs may include files attachments, it can have one or more Owners, one or more Categories, a Date field and Notes. It is possible to configure multiple users with different databases assigned. MyDocs also works well with mobile phones.
