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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

What scanners do people recommend?
Brother ADS-1700W is amazing!
😍
I have this scanner and agree it works great, although there may be cheaper options out there that also work well.
FTP worked well out of the box. For SFTP on Arch Linux, I had to follow the troubleshooting instructions here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Very_Secure_FTP_Daemon#LIST_command_resets_connection.
Photos with my phone it is! Most documents I receive nowadays are digital anyway.
You are right, it's not cheap. I delayed buying one for literally years but once I did, it was a game changer.
I'm in the same boat, but didn't jump so yet. I've been following paperless for a while now but every time I look at scanners I'm blown away by their prices...
If you have an Android phone I can't recommend Genius Scan enough. Fast, accurate, lots of features. I use it with syncthing by exporting the files to a folder that's configured to sync the paperless input folder.
