I think everybody on here is constantly keeping an eye out for what to host next. Sometimes you spinup something which chugs along nicely but sometimes you find out youā€™ve been missing out.

For me itā€™s not very refreshing or new: Paperless-ngx. Never thought I would add all my administration to it. But itā€™s great. I probably canā€™t find the thing I need, but I should have a record of every mail or letter Iā€™ve gotten. Close second is Wanderer. But I would like to have a little bit more features like adding recorded routes to view speed and compare with previous walks. But thatā€™s not what it is intended for.

What is that service for you?

Watch out to enable ā€œkeep on deleteā€ features. I didnā€™t do that and didnā€™t see that gigabytes of personal photos got deleted which I had to recover from an old backup. Still donā€™t know how it happened as I only found out a few weeks after the fact.

Sync is not backup! If thereā€™s a software bug or a wrong setting sync can delete your files. Syncthing is pretty mature so I doubt this was a Syncthing bug, however you shouldnā€™t only trust Syncthing. Iā€™m doing btrfs snapshots weekly and delete them after three years for important folders nowadays.

Also the ā€œauto normalizeā€ option (true by default and only shown in advanced settings) can mess-up with your source files. Mouting source files read-only wonā€™t work either as it is creating files in source folders.
