-
umbrel
A beautiful home server OS for self-hosting with an app store. Buy a pre-built Umbrel Home with umbrelOS, or install on a Raspberry Pi or any x86 system.
What I would want to have some company to make one device that would at the same time be:
1) router
2) smart tv (airplay, chromecast, miracast)
3) smart speaker
4) smart home gateway (matter)
5) wireless charging pad
6) private cloud (nextcloud)
7) private backup (removable nvm)
8) private vpn / dns / pihole / adguard
9) mini server
Everything in a nice package and preconfigure and ideally modular (upgradable ssd, wifi).
UmbrelOS [0] is interesting but its quite expensive and its only for home server (no router, no smart speaker, smart tv, wireless charging pad). Apple TV has a great hardware and cheap but so limited for 3rd party. Wish they made it modular that you could attach magnetic speaker, wireless charging pad and had some usb for attaching 4g modem.

Project mention: Paperless-ngx: scan, index and archive all your physical documents | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-09-30paperless-ngx is successor of paperless and paperless-ng. Around that time I moved to https://teedy.io which is also opensource https://github.com/sismics/docs and also support ldap.
I've been itching to give paperless-ngx a shot because I just love it but ldap hasn't yet ended up in the docs but the pull request was merged.
Regardless, I just love how this project just keeps coming back to life
