Hey, so the trick is to translate the given docker-compose like e.g. this one https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/blob/dev/docker/compose/docker-compose.sqlite.yml to the json syntax used in AIO like stated in https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/tree/main/community-containers#how-to-add-containers:
