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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I'm already hosting pihole, but i know there's so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I've got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

I have a ton of papers around the home. This looks like this can really help. Thanks

For a while it's just data in, which it handles really well. But it really started to shine for me when I needed to find some of the documents. OCR and their search works very well for me.

There are also some interesting thoughts in here: https://skerritt.blog/how-i-store-physical-documents/

What do you use for scanning?

[–] thomas@lemmy.zell-mbc.com 1 points 2 years ago

Device is a HP Pro 9010 Printer/Scanner with a local SMB folder set up as scan target. Paperless monitors the share and picks up everything someone (I) put in there. Scanner, PC, phone, anything which can connect to the SMB share. Dead easy and works reliably.

I can't for the life of me get this running, the web server just throws errors about the Redis server being unavailable, using their script to generate a docker-compose file.

What's the error?

Can you run docker-compose logs

Here's mine: https://cloud.zell-mbc.com/s/Ac5KQTTxcWNYbNs

I tried to add file it to this post but formatting got completely messed up, hence a link.

Before you run docker-compose you need to change the paperless-app volumes to fit your requirements and set up the variables in .env
