Completely agree. If the *arr stack had environment variables for key settings, I'm sure we'd see Compose files instead of TRaSH how-to guides. It's frustrating everything is configured in the GUI.

There's a lot of technical answers here, but Tailscale is what you want OP. Self-hosting is only a risk if you open ports. Tailscale doesn't require opening any ports.
Alternatively, you could set up your own VPN and forward one port to the VPN. The risk of port forwarding to VPN such as Wireguard or OpenVPN is minimal.
The risk of being attacked applies to those that port forward web traffic so it can be accessed without a VPN by themselves or others. If you don't do that, the risk is very low.
Paperless-ngx, Firefly III, and n8n are all awesome tools. However, I think connecting Paperless to Firefly via n8n will be very difficult to grab the correct date and amount. What if there is no receipt or the receipt is sent via email? Also, Paperless sometimes gets the wrong date for me, such as when there are multiple dates or the print isn't clear.
If you're using a card to pay, I recommend downloading .qfx files from your bank and uploading those to Firefly instead.
I do this too plus block all IPs via firewall except my work and home IP addresses.
I switched from Nextcloud Memories to Immich when Immich added support for external libraries. From what I remember, Memories was pretty good but a bit slower, not as polished, and had significantly worse AI tools. I recommend Immich.
Any to-do app that supports recurrence with:
- the next due date based on completion date for things like mowing the lawn, replacing filters, etc.
- annual due dates for things like a spring check-up
I use Vikunja, but I think Donetick would be perfect for your use case! It has a log of task completions and fulfills both bullets above.
But compared to Google and not owning your data? It's SO much better, not that it's really a fair comparison.
Sorry your experience has been so bad. I'm using the LinuxServer.io version. I've had to run some OCC commands when upgrading and it's sometimes slow, but for me it syncs my files and does version control + sharing well.
Nextcloud is awesome, you should definitely still use it. It's really big and has its issues when upgrading, but it's still one of—if not the—best for file sync and share.
Easy Docker solutions:
My two cents: try it yourself but don't start using their app store until you've gotten a better feel for things. They have some great app store apps, but it makes you dependent on Nextcloud.
Have you considered Kanban apps? All of them should support A+C. I've used Wekan and Kanboard. Hope this helps your searching!
Caddy has this feature built-in. It looks nice too.

There's also File Browser.
Self-hosting NocoDB has gone very well for me. Do you know which features you need that are enterprise only?
