What do you thing of Kasm Workspaces.

You can create a Desktop workspace, different diestros and environments to choose from. And you can create users so each user has his own login.

I run paperless-ngx in a docker container. Have it scan my email for attachments once a day. It automatically tags the email depending on keywords found in the email and sender.

If I scan a document to import I tag it manually.

But paperless-ngx also has ocr, so it will scan the whole page and save that data. So I can search for example ‘samsung’ and it will show me all documents where Samsung is in. Even if it is not tagged.

My docker-compose:

version: "3.3"

networks:
  paperless:
       name: paperless
       driver: bridge
       ipam:
        config:

The .en file you can find on there GitHub. But the over important part is to setup a language for it.

# The default language to use for OCR. Set this to the language most of your
# documents are written in.
PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGE=nld

Obsidian, misspelled the app. There is a iOS and Android app.

Both, i like setting up the network and trying out selfhosted services.

Definitely improved my daily routines:

​

- Paperless-ngx, connected to my email. All my bills and purchases are backed up. So easy to find documents/warranty documents.

- Nextcloud, for backing up my phone and personal life. Too much data for cloud providers and pivate.

- Plex/Jellyfin, easy way to watch all my Linux iso’s without paying 10 different streaming services. Still subscribed to two steaming services though (family).

- Adguard, lifesaver to browse the web without going crazy.

- Immich, awesome photo viewer with mobile app.

- Syncthing, awesome tool to sync data. Use it to sync my Obisian notes to all my devices.

- Kasm/webtop, have my own OS in browser to access from any web browser securely.

- Restic, tool to backup everything to Backblaze. You can use any storage solution.

- Wireguard VPN, to easy access my services and have adblocking on my phone and laptop outside of my LAN.
