My personal setup:
- Nextcloud - For files, backup, contacts and calendar
- Vaultwarden - Password Safe
- Paperless - Document management, combined with a compatible scanner a true blessing (with scan to SMB)
I have been playing with some other tools, but these are the most important for me.
(with scan to SMB)
So the scanner saves the file in SMB-share(s), then Paperless(-xng) will automatically process it?
Maybe Paperless, with an LLM API integration to chat with the documents, using the power of referring to and verifying against Paperless' concrete results, would be somehow useful.
Edit: Oh, this is already being discussed on their GitHub. Of course it is!
You are right with the first part. It only takes three clicks to scan a doc and have it available.
As for me, I'm not interest in sending my documents to open AI. But it would definitely offer some nice functions.
I'm not interest in sending my documents to open AI.
You wouldn't have to. There are plenty of well-performing open-source models that work with an API similar to the Open AI standard, with which you can simply substitute OpenAI models by using a different URL and API-key.
You can run these models in the cloud, either selfhosted or "as a service".
Or you can run them locally on high-end consumer-grade hardware, some even on smartphones, and the models are only getting smaller and more performant with very frequent advancements regarding training, tuning and prompting. Some of these open-source models are already claiming to be outperforming GPT-4 in some regards, so this solution seems viable too.
Hell, you can even build and automate your own specialized agents in collaborating "crews" using frameworks, and so much more...
Though, I'm unsure if the LLM functionality should be integrated into Paperless, or rather implemented by calling the Paperless API from the LLM agent. I see how both ways could fit some specific uses.
Some features like a "tl,dr" bot would probably not even need high end hardware, because it does not matter if it takes ten minutes for a summary.
Features like a chat bot do not belong into paperless IMO.
For me it's gotta be Portainer, Vaultwarden, and Tailscale. Everything else (FreshRSS, Heimdall, Paperless) is just cream.

A bunch of random thought... If anyone has any brief tips...
I'm going to dive into borgmatic soon.
Is it possible to back up PCs on the same network?
I think I'm looking to do 2 things... Have my main PC synced to a backup drive. Nightly? So I can DD to a new drive if I mess some up on my PC. I'd like to be able to do this with my omv server too.
The other is just backing up nas storage and docker.
Borg seemed like a good option for some of that but I'm not sure about the usable syncing of a full system.
Also wireguard... Right now I use a VPN subscription and run apps through gluetun... Instead of using my vpns meshnet I use tailscale for outside the home access. So I guess my question is, could I set up wireguard and use that instead of tailscale? My main reason is to find a way other family could utilize the nas and gluetun VPN connection.
There's so much planning that goes into this stuff. Finding the right apps and then the workflow... 🥴
In the end I want to host cloud storage and photo sharing for family, as well as maybe let them stream my media. Have the cloud storage, and my personal storage backed up. And possible let family utilize my subscription VPN if possible.
You can sync easily to another device on the same network via ssh for example. You can also call a script automatically after the backup has been created and do your custom stuff in there.
I'm really liking borgmatic myself as a wrapper for Borg.
EDIT: I don't have experience doing full OS backups. I only make backups of specific directories.
By Darwin I had not heard of wg-easy before. That is indeed easier than my setup. Thank you.
