Thank you. Setting it up seems less daunting now. I'm going to try for setting up emails.
The android app is fairly functionally complete, and I only interact with my phone or tablet. In fact, for desktop tasks I have a Linux Mint VM I just console into from my tablet, a sort of sudo laptop.
In anycase, for manual uploading files my phone is probably easier. But, you're advice is good for everybody that's not me, sensible people.
Your comment about bindmounts might have solved my biggest problem with Paperless, in that it doesn't write to my 3-2-1 back up folder directly so I end up 3-2-1ing the whole machine. Which is fine, but I keep multiple snap shots of my LXCs so it's multiples of multiples.
</zpool/important/paperless:/use/src/paperless/original>
Specific file paths aside, would [path to zpool]:[path to originals] have paperless saving the originals to my zpool so I would only have 3 copies instead of 3*#of snapshots?
-
Indeed it would. That's exactly how I have mine setup; with borg backing up the originals folder from the host.
If you are making this change to an existing installation; remember to copy the contents of the current originals folder out of the container and into the host folder you intended to bind mount, before you change the mount.
So, copy the contents of container:'/use/src/paperless/original' place them in host:'/use/src/paperless/original', THEN add your bind mount to the container config.
Otherwise you may lose the contents of the folder within the container and have to retrieve it from a backup.

The extension is to get the rss link to paste into five filters
Five filters takes the link and gets all the images and all that then makes a new rss link that you give to fresh rss.
When I tried just fresh rss a lot of the sites I tried wouldn't get me images or it would be just the headline and I would have to click the link and go to the actual site to read the article

My server is full of bindmounts. Too many bind mounts. It causes a host of permissions issues if I'm honest. There wasn't a storage problem I didn't solve with bindmounts. Except this one, this one I decided I had to have interact over SMB or some shit.
Thank you. With that problem solved Paperless is, currently, perfect for my needs.
-
I'm still not sure that filter thing is necessary. FreshRSS can fetch content and images using the CSS selector of the website.
You may want to check out the Advanced section in their documentation: https://freshrss.github.io/FreshRSS/en/users/04_Subscriptions.html#retrieve-a-truncated-feed-from-within-freshrssAnyway, whatever works for you

Kavita for my ebook collection—mostly tabletop RPGs, but some comics and sci fi as well.
I don’t actually use the web interface that often. I add books to my Kavita library, then scan the OPDS feed into my scratch-my-own-itch mobile app, Bookoscope, and download whatever I want to read onto my tablet from there.
Side note, PDFs are the absolute worst. Even reading them on a full-sized tablet is incredibly annoying. Anybody have any tips/tricks/apps for that?

I just setup Pairdrop on my home server. Holy crap it's amazing!
-
what do you mean you often switch apps ?
-
I started with gitea but found it difficult to backup. I've been using gogs for a while now and find it minimal and easy to administrate.
-
Syncthing. Decentralized data backup that works with minimal setup. Now I can add cloud sync to most any app.
-
I run it in a docker on zfs so snapshots backed up to PBS seem pretty bulletproof.
-
I usually convert pdfs to epub if its something I actually need to read and not just scan/browse. Often I would bother to even edit the epub in Sigil to fix any problems with the conversion.
-
I like to switch RSS apps on the phone a lot because I can't stick with one, and none of them are perfect
-
That's easily Home Assistant. It got me into the whole home automation stuff and I have gradually included more and more parts into it - including some health related stuff. It really makes my family's life easier and helps us organizing it.
-
Works great for me, too.

And for those using Matrix, it stops you from having to use Google notifications.

Never knew I needed? Another vote for Paperless-ngx. I still feel like I'm living in the future using it. The trick I've found was initially setting up a good document naming & management convention & following it religiously for every document. The search function is fantastic at narrowing down results. Used in conjunction with specific coloured tags I can immediately see what I need from search results.
Fired up Immich recently. Amazing. Will be donating as I like their stance.
I also enjoy Linkwarden. Switched from the also excellent Hoarder as I prefer the UI.
Most used? Nextcloud with Joplin.
-
Same as any piece of software you’re hosting, it’s up to you to decide. I run my instance on my Hetzner vm.
-
@[email protected] funnily enough, I switched from Linkwarden to Hoarder. I like the smart lists. Just bookmark everything, check it later.

Joplin.
Ive been paying for Workflowy and honestly, I've reached my limit of cost vs value.
I needed a way to do more than just bullets, like Evernote without the bloat, or OneNote/Notes without the megacorp, something I can export and read 100 years from now.
I was surprised how often I use it, and slowly weening off of Workflowy.
