Some notes:

• This can be self-hosted. My working compose.yml is below
• Free until August, and he has a discord for feedback, but I can’t find the invite. It was in the live-stream he did.
• He said in the stream that he’s open to open sourcing the project. Just not there yet.
• He admits the licensing is a little confusing. He stressed that self-hosting does not have a storage or block limit. Also, self-hosting is possible with all licenses (I think).
• Supports macOS, Linux, Windows, iOS, and Android (in beta I think)

I have the DB, config, and thumbnails on local NVME, and storage on NFS-mounted NAS. Working fine so far.

ETA: Correction in compose file.

Postgres? Sorry. If it needs a database, it’s probably not for me. Can’t be asked to keep another database backed up.

To each their own but I think I prefer to stick to Nextcloud and just continue to keep things organized the old fashioned way for the most part.

Though for documents those all get fed to paperless-ngx

Sigh…

That stupid way of explaining the license plan aside, are we again having to explain that we don’t want our data locked into yet another db format?
