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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Paperless does support defining a folder structure that you can use to organize documents within that paperless media volume however you should treat it as read only.

OP could use this as a way to keep their desired folder structure as much as possible, but it would have to be separate from the consumption folder.

Note: 8 months later and I invested the time into setting up Immich instead. Much better return on time investment.
