Paperless-ngx, Firefly III, and n8n are all awesome tools. However, I think connecting Paperless to Firefly via n8n will be very difficult to grab the correct date and amount. What if there is no receipt or the receipt is sent via email? Also, Paperless sometimes gets the wrong date for me, such as when there are multiple dates or the print isn’t clear.
If you’re using a card to pay, I recommend downloading .qfx files from your bank and uploading those to Firefly instead.
I do this too plus block all IPs via firewall except my work and home IP addresses.
I switched from Nextcloud Memories to Immich when Immich added support for external libraries. From what I remember, Memories was pretty good but a bit slower, not as polished, and had significantly worse AI tools. I recommend Immich.
Any to-do app that supports recurrence with:
I use Vikunja, but I think Donetick would be perfect for your use case! It has a log of task completions and fulfills both bullets above.
But compared to Google and not owning your data? It’s SO much better, not that it’s really a fair comparison.
Sorry your experience has been so bad. I’m using the LinuxServer.io version. I’ve had to run some OCC commands when upgrading and it’s sometimes slow, but for me it syncs my files and does version control + sharing well.
Nextcloud is awesome, you should definitely still use it. It’s really big and has its issues when upgrading, but it’s still one of—if not the—best for file sync and share.
Easy Docker solutions:
My two cents: try it yourself but don’t start using their app store until you’ve gotten a better feel for things. They have some great app store apps, but it makes you dependent on Nextcloud.
Have you considered Kanban apps? All of them should support A+C. I’ve used Wekan and Kanboard. Hope this helps your searching!
Caddy has this feature built-in. It looks nice too.

There’s also File Browser.
Agree, highly recommend this and/or Tailscale.
Great list! If you already have the Raspberry Pi devices, great. If you were going to buy some, I would look at thin clients instead. Low-power, cheaper, more powerful, can use real hard drives instead of SD cards or adapters, and x86 instead of ARM. I have an HP T630 I like but I hear good things about the Dell Wyse 5070 too.
I really like Vikunja and use it individually both personally and professionally. It meets all of your criteria except tracking hours. They have a nice demo too: https://try.vikunja.io/.
I was going to say that Finamp doesn’t support offline filtering by artists, but when looking for the open issue I just found out the beta does support this! Awesome!
As others have said, Nextcloud for files/calendar and Tailscale for VPN is your answer.
Nextcloud can be installed in several ways, one of which is Docker Compose. Docker Compose is flexible but requires learning a bit, although you can use it for most self-hosted software.
I have a T630 as well. It’s currently running 26 Docker containers without issue. I love it.
I can share the script on GitHub if anyone is interested. Among other things, it converts funds to their value at the time of the transaction and adds additional transactions to reflect capital gains and losses. This allows Metabase to accurately report net worth over time.
Docker + Caddy (for reverse proxy) fits most use cases IMO. I really like this person’s approach: https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker. They use Docker networks to avoid unnecessary port mapping - it’s a very clean method.
I really want this too. Neither Actual nor Firefly III support stocks/funds (open issues for Actual and for Firefly III.
I use GnuCash for my transactions, which I manually export from my accounts as QFX files. Although GnuCash has support for tracking fund values and generating reports, I do this with a custom Python script and Metabase instead.
We’ve integrated a new REST API and embedded web server directly into the pihole-FTL binary. This eliminates the need for lighttpd and PHP, reducing the installation footprint and boosting performance.
Very nice!
Stalwart is gaining momentum. I haven’t used it, but it’s worth a look. https://stalw.art/
There’s a lot of technical answers here, but Tailscale is what you want OP. Self-hosting is only a risk if you open ports. Tailscale doesn’t require opening any ports.
Alternatively, you could set up your own VPN and forward one port to the VPN. The risk of port forwarding to VPN such as Wireguard or OpenVPN is minimal.
The risk of being attacked applies to those that port forward web traffic so it can be accessed without a VPN by themselves or others. If you don’t do that, the risk is very low.
