What is a service you host you never knew you needed?
-
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?

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.
-
-
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

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.

FYI, the repo has been moved and the link is outdated

Actual Budget a selfhosting budget software. It helps me keep track of my finances

You can configure storage paths. That way, you can direct tags to be stored in a specific folder.
You can then get the files for the accountant from your file system.

I've been eyeing that. Using linkding for 'functional' sites & linkwarden for articles at the moment.
I like linkding a lot, but am too lazy to tag things properly. -
I think that's the last prod I needed to finally switch.
