    You've just made me waste the next 2 days, because this sounds great! Only thing I'm a bit hesitant about is trusting all bridge makers. I'm a bit more aware that I use a lot of FOSS where it could be easy for the dev's to just go rogue. But that's still better than giving it away to some closed source company.

    WhenI was setting it up, it took me only like two hours tops. The ansible project is well documented, has a clear setup guide, and the process is really just getting server with ssh access, changing DNS, changing around 5 values in the ansible config and running it.

      That plus a browser extension that finds the right rss feed for you like get rss feed url on firefox.

      I copy the rss with the extension
      Then I paste that into five filters
      Use that to give it to fresh rss which will get me a nice looking post with images and text

      Thanks. Do you host five filters? Do you pay for it?

        Is port 22 accessible and pointed at it? You could also run it on an alternate port and specify that port in your ssh config.

        I’m using a different port and have it in my config.
        Sadly that didn’t work too 😭

          If you don’t mind me asking, how/on which criteria does auto-sort and -categorization work? Scanning file name and contents? But then you’d have to pre-define some sort of keywords, no?

          Yes, you have to set attributes and clients.
          First documents you have to set everything yourself but it gets usefull really fast.
          I just scan a letter, and look througout the day if it was correct recognized and maybe correct it

            You can predefine keywords/phrases, yes. But there are many other options. You can tag different documents based on how they wherer ingressed (which e-Mail they came/were sent to from for example).
            I have it set up so that my scanner has a few different quick action buttons which atomatically upload the documents into different folders (think bills, helthcare, bank, etc.) Then paperless tags and sorts them based on those folders.

            I also does machine-learning when enabled which works ok in my experience.

              I'm hodsting my own Matrix server with WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and Messenger bridge. I have all my IMs in one app, don't have to install spyware on my phone, and I can make bots that troll annoying people that message me on any platform.

              Hosting it was super simple, thanks to the Ansible project that's extremely robust and well done, I literally just got a hosting, domain amd changed like 5 config values to enable the bridges I wanted, gave it an IP and ssh key, and ran it. And if I need to update, I literally "just update" (it's all wrapped up into "just" tool), and it eve handles cases where I didn't update for a while, failing graciously and telling me what I need to do maually, usually just rename some config values.

              I wholly recommend it. You probably wont convince your friends to switch from <insert app here>, and this is the best compromise.

              I'm using a small instance on Hetzner, for 6$ a month. You could in theory get a free oracle cloud instance for it, but I didn't manage to get one.

                In both client config and forgejo config? And docker config?

                It's working for me, but I had to add a config to my ~/.ssh/config file

                    I think everybody on here is constantly keeping an eye out for what to host next. Sometimes you spinup something which chugs along nicely but sometimes you find out you've been missing out.

                    For me it's not very refreshing or new: Paperless-ngx. Never thought I would add all my administration to it. But it's great. I probably can't find the thing I need, but I should have a record of every mail or letter I've gotten.
                    Close second is Wanderer. But I would like to have a little bit more features like adding recorded routes to view speed and compare with previous walks. But that's not what it is intended for.

                    What is that service for you?

                    Paperless - Pay slips, Bank statements, MOT records, Insurance policies, User manuals, restaurant menus. All filed and searchable. Letters I get are photographed, uploaded and immediately disposed of, zero stress.

                      When I was looking into matrix bridges I heard a bunch of stories about people getting their accounts blocked after using them through the bridges. Is this still an issue?

                        The one that was way more useful then expected is immich. I have over 100,000 photos I took during my life and it usually takes me DAYS to find a specific picture I need.

                        I installed immich and let it AI scan everything for a week or something. Now I can search for something specific like “it’s a black square in the middle of the photo and has a little knob on it” and it finds me the photo I need.

                        It’s also cool to see photos of people, organized by the individual by searching their name or clicking on their face.

                          Sadly it doesn't work with CrowdSec which is the biggest thing I would want notifications on (bans and such) and Gotify isn't the pub/sub MQTT-style that I like about ntfy...

                          Ntfy can act as an email server if you configure it. So if an application is not supporting ntfy directly but email, you can go that route. Ntfy will then simply forward the email as push notification. Its also pretty simple to set up, used this as a workaround because authelia doesn't support it directly. Here is the link to the specific ntfy documentation: https://docs.ntfy.sh/config/#e-mail-publishing

                              I've only just set it up, mainly for the facial recognition. I had no idea that it could do that type of search too. It's going to be really helpful with my faulty brain and not remembering words 🙂

                                Forgejo. There are so many things that can use a git repo but I don't want to have them out in the wild, so I host them myself, safe and sound behind my firewall.

                                I also mirror other github forks so they don't go away whenever those services decide to rugpull them.

                                Do you manually mirror and keep the forks up to date? Or is there an automation for it?

                                  I'm really fond of readeck. After being dissapointed with Pocket and Wallabag, I went with omnivore until they pulled a skiff. Out of all the FOSS read-it-later solutions - it was a very even tie between Shiori and readeck, and I went with the latter since it supports highlights.

                                      FreshRSS, i had it installed and setup with a fee feeds for over a year and only like this month has it become my daily read, i can get almost everything in there to just read through while I drink my coffee, sites I bookmarked but never go to can now come to me.

                                      Also with 'five filters full text rss' to get all the images in the feed

                                        Recipe manager and meal planner which can pull recipes from the web. I started using it after a few recipes on sites disappeared. My families most used app (besides plex).
