The record

Purpose: scanservjs is a web interface for sharing one or more SANE scanners on a network.
Scan controls: It provides cropping, source selection, resolution settings, filters, and configurable defaults.
Output: Supported output formats include TIF, JPG, PNG, PDF, and TXT with Tesseract OCR.
Multipage: It supports multipage scanning and collation for double-sided scans.
Hardware support: The project says it supports any SANE-compatible device, with SANE and a Linux host or VM among its requirements.
Deployment: The maker documents Debian, Arch, and Docker installation, and lists Docker images for amd64, arm64, and armv7.
API: Built-in OpenAPI documentation and an API explorer are available at /api-docs.
Integrations: Files can be handled through filesystem scripts or custom actions; the integration guide mentions paperless-ng and Dropbox examples.
Data handling: Scanned files are saved in a flat directory for download, and Docker users need a mapped volume to retain them when recreating a container.
Security: The Docker guide says privileged mode gives the container full root access to the host and recommends SANE over Network as a cleaner option where possible.
Vulnerability reporting: The security policy asks users to report vulnerabilities by email rather than through issues, discussions, or pull requests.
Support: The maker's documentation links to troubleshooting guidance and invites community help with translations.
Limitations: The maker says the app is intended for downloading scans locally and leaves custom naming, directory structures, and cloud or NAS storage workflows to users.
Audience: The project is designed for people who want to access SANE-compatible scanners over a network through a browser.
