+Hosting Paperless in a Subdirectory
+-----------------------------------
+
+Paperless was designed to run off the root of the hosting domain,
+(ie: ``https://example.com/``) but with a few changes, you can configure
+it to run in a subdirectory on your server
+(ie: ``https://example.com/paperless/``).
+
+Thanks to the efforts of `maphy-psd`_ on `Github`_, running Paperless in a
+subdirectory is now as easy as setting a config variable.  Simply set
+``PAPERLESS_FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME`` in your environment or
+``/etc/paperless.conf`` to the path you want Paperless hosted at, configure
+Nginx/Apache for your needs and you're done.  So, if you want Paperless to live
+at ``https://example.com/arbitrary/path/to/paperless`` then you just set
+``PAPERLESS_FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME`` to ``/arbitrary/path/to/paperless``.  Note the
+leading ``/`` there.
+
+As to how to configure Nginx or Apache for this, that's on you :-)
