What document management solution are you using? (alien.top)

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.

Bro! I just came on this subreddit right now, to ask about the very same situation! In my case, I have well over 900 PDF documents, which a lot of them i transfered from my phone to computer. Then a good majority of them are full books, which I'ved OCR-processed and then turned into ebook format for Calibre web-server.

But the others are legal documents, tax documents, instruction manuals, research papers, etc.
