This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/selfhosted

Our great sponsors
  • Mergify - Updating dependencies is time-consuming.
  • InfluxDB - Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time
  • SonarLint - Clean code begins in your IDE with SonarLint
  • OfficeToPDF

    A command line tool to convert Microsoft Office documents to PDFs

    My best idea right now is to use OfficeToPDF and then develop my own API endpoint with an IIS setup (which I've never used before, so this will be a mess at the beginning).

  • gotenberg

    A developer-friendly API for converting numerous document formats into PDF files, and more!

    Gotenberg does this. (It's recommended for this purpose for use with paperless-ng)

  • Mergify

    Updating dependencies is time-consuming.. Solutions like Dependabot or Renovate update but don't merge dependencies. You need to do it manually while it could be fully automated! Add a Merge Queue to your workflow and stop caring about PR management & merging. Try Mergify for free.

  • documents4j

    documents4j is a Java library for converting documents into another document format

    Take a look at https://documents4j.com. I'm not sure if it checks all your boxes. I have never set it up my self, but know it to be reliable in a production environment.
