Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Honestly, phone scanning is a total trap for anything you actually care about. I tried this exact setup for months and the OCR quality was absolute trash because of bad lighting or a slight tilt. If a document is important enough to keep, it is worth getting a dedicated scanner with an auto-feeder. Taking photos of letters feels like a massive chore that you will eventually just stop doing after the novelty wears off.
And let's be real about that inbox tag. That is just a digital pile of shame. I have hundreds of documents in my own Paperless instance tagged for review that I havent touched in two years. You think you are staying organized, but you are really just moving the clutter from your desk to a database. Syncthing is the only part of this workflow that I actually trust to work every single time without failing.
