What is a service you host you never knew you needed?
-
Is this local only? No clouds reported data?

Thanks, this looks awesome, last one I tried was tandoor but didn't really liked it, the import/export capabilities of this one make it a lot more interesting for me, to ensure I can recover the recipes or build them into markdown files if I ever want to migrate away from it.

Couldn't tell you, sorry. I have Paperless in it's own LXC (helper-script) which I 3-2-1 as a machine. Many duplicates, but they're only PDFs.
I can tell you I spent a small amount of time trying (and failing) to get the files onto my NAS. I can also tell you, if I stretched up really tall I can just about scrape rock bottom when it comes to skills in this stuff.

Yeah i host five filters, fresh rss, and a mariadb container for fresh rss
I personally don't host the firefox extension I just found it recommend on reddit to get rss urls from sites that don't have a link

And if you don't review your new documents very often, the auto-tagging and filtering options make it easy to just go through your inbox when you get a chance, knowing you didn't miss something.

Same!
Did not realize how good it is to have digital albums with the family! And also having a backup is great as well, for a peace of mind.

Local only.

What was disappointing about wallabag? I have an ebook reader, and Koreader has it integrated into it, and its great.

Could you elaborate a little on LXC, please?
I was thinking about looking into Paperless after seeing it gleefully mentioned so much in this post, but lack of easy/accessible backups seems strange for something you wanna use to eventually destroy your only other copy of it (the physical letter).

I found the UI to be horrendous, and managing tags was very painful. During the time I was paying for the cloud-service, there wasn't any noticable development of the web-app, so I stopped using it. Mind you, this was pre-pandemic and things might have changed since then.

Sure,
I used TTecks helper script to install paperless as an LXC. I then use proxmox's inbuilt back up schedule to grab snapshots of that LXC, and others usually I keep 1 "nightly"and 1 "monthly" right now.
Syncthing, another LXC, thank you tteck, has access to the back up folder. It is synced with a RPi 4 pulling double duty as my redundant DNS all installed using Docker. The pi 4 install is synced with my proxmox host and an off-site box, through tailscale at my parent's house.
There are better systems, like Borg and what not but this one is mine.
I have an "important" share on a my NAS that is also synced 3-2-1. It would be better if Paperless saved to my NAS directly, then I'd only have 3 copies. Right now I have 6: 1 nightly and 1 monthly spread across 3 machines, not counting RAID because the "b" in "RAID" stands for back up.

WhatsApp disconnects you if you don't open the official app every 14 days or so. So you definitely need it. I run it on an old tablet. It's supposed to run in a virtual machine (running Android) as well.

It stores the documents in the form they were imported in a folder called '/originals/', with the contents sorted according to the rules you set in paperless. You can back that up however you'd like.

My oh shit plan: grab a back up file. Rebuild the lxc from that snapshot. Access my pdfs.
I keep once in a lifetime stuff: birth certificate, paper counter part to my driver's license, etc. They're still backed up. But, for day-day communications that I'm supposed to keep: 5 years financials and the like, tennant agreements etc. My old filing system was "throw them in a box, if I remembered and find them never. Or, try not delete the email they're attached to". Now I have a glimmer of a hope

I've used an old phone just for this task...
