So I’m setting up a home server for personal purposes, among which, storing personal documents/files… accumulated over the years is now my next target. I’ve already had:
- Nextcloud to upload/sync files from my mobile devices
- Calibre to manage ebooks, magazines
- Jellyfin to manage multimedia files, including photos
I’m looking for a solution to upload/manage documents. Could be my Ids, could be my rental contract, or recovery passphrases for my accounts, etc.
There are a lot that can be found from here:
But I’d love to get real experience and advice. Something that can run with docker and maybe, probably integrate nicely with the rest of the above stuff.
An SMB share from a Windows server VM. I’ve also been playing around with paperless but honestly I trust the SMB share way more and it’s so much easier for me to not fuck up and lose all my data like I’ve done in the past playing with Docker containers.
I’d honestly prefer something web-based with phone apps. I’ll rather be careful with volume mounting and make additional copies of files, including cloud backup, to avoid data loss.
How do you lose the data playing with docker containers?
You just have to set the media folder for paperless right, and you could just use SMB to access the files and have both optionms. Don’t store data inside containers, not just for paperless.
