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.

I have bunch of textbooks, and a lot of lecture notes and notes from colleagues, all in PDF format. What is a good way to classify, manage, store, and read these PDF files? I am trying calibre-web, but it seems difficult to find applications to connect to it.

As a card-carrying librarian, I recommend using Zotero as a client with a WebDAV backend (I use Nextcloud).

If you’re studying or writing anything in which you need to cite your sources, Zotero is excellent and has integrations with many word processors. I’m pretty sure it can output your references as BibTeX if you’re in one of the disciplines that uses LaTeX.

I'm not even a librarian but pshh, I still got a card. They give them out to anyone, you know.
