Sounds like you need a Synology NAS...

Advice on Paperless storage path by puckpuckgo in c/main@selfhosted.forum

[-] puckpuckgo@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Thanks, everyone.

I ended up going with {correspondent}/{created_year}/{created_year}.{created_month}.{created_day} - {title}

For those who Google, if you have already loaded in documents and would like to make the corresponding changes to follow the above structure, you'll have to run this:

sudo docker exec -it Paperless-NGX document_renamer

For the record, this worked with Container Manager within a Synology NAS.

Advice on Paperless storage path (alien.top)

I'm starting to go all in on PaperlessNGX after discovering it recently in this community. At first, I started testing and exploring, but I realize that this will satisfy my needs for record-keeping. The one thing I have to figure out is the storage path. Today, Paperless will store everything in a single folder. That's fine, as long as Paperless exists. However, should I ever want to move away from it or it stops getting developed, I'm stuck with a massive directory of PDFs.

I was thinking instead of organizing like so:

media/YYYY/Doc_Type/Correspondent/Title

I would want to do this for existing documents in the system, as well as any new ones I create.

What is the best way of accomplishing this?

Also, is this the best way of sorting these documents? Any other ideas I should consider?

What is the one thing every self-hosted household should have? by puckpuckgo in c/main@selfhosted.forum

Why did you choose Caddy instead of Traefik or Nginx? I'm on Nginx, but wondering if I'm missing out on anything.

Let's keep it simple. I'm sure most of us are proud of Docker CPU cycles charted in Grafana via Prometheus, but I'm talking about the house as a whole.

My personal favorite is turning out to be Mealie.

I self-host a bunch of things for my personal use, but Mealie definitely takes the cake in terms of benefitting the entire household. I like the meal planner and the ability to hit the supermarket once to get all the necessary groceries for the week (I've never been able to achieve this before). I don't think there is anything in my stack that even compares with the benefits my house gets of out Mealie.

My runner up would have to be any of the self-hosted media players (Plex, Jellyfin, etc.), but we also have Netflix and a bunch of streaming services, so not that impactful. Home Assistant would also be a close runner up, but it only provides great benefits for me, not the rest of the house. I think Immich will be on this list shortly, when it matures a bit more (are we able to import existing photos yet?)
