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 (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I third this! I saw title and came to say.
It’s actively being developed still, I get emails like once every 1–3 weeks, sometimes more. Sometimes less.
I use docker desktop for this. I also lowkey learned how to set up a multi-database for this at one point, but kinda stopped after I got it working. More to see if I could.
I also tried bare metal building this, but had shit luck. It’s been a couple years though. Docker just makes it easy as hell.
I still keep all the originals separate just in case, and the tool can help you make multiple copies too (like PDF-A). I’ve never needed to go back and use those though, as Paperless just works so well once you get the hang of it and how you want your data stored.
I picked a structure that kind of lets me find stuff easily even if the tool is not running (like just by folder structures).
I’ve yet to make this online available for obvious reasons. But it would be nice to be able to pull up pretty much any document you need, any time.
Any suggestions on safe web access quickly from a phone might be helpful (WireGuard maybe?) if you have them.
For remote access, wireguard is great. You can access stuff via their internal addresses.
Tailscale is how I access my server. I've got a domain name that points to the internal tailscale IP address, but that's not really necessary
