Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Any suggestions for a selfhosted comic book collection manager? I.e. a database of the physical comics that I own.

This program rocks for any sort of organization.

Markdown files in folders, with all sorts of plugins for tweaking it to your use case.

But beware, Obsidian is full of rabbit holes. Don't get distracted by shiny plugins that you don't actually need.

It's an amazing tool.

For your comics list, I'd suggest Dataview, quickadd, and templater plugins. With those three you could easily make a database with an entry mask, that automatically sorts the files into folders and sets metadata based on the mask input, and dynamically creates various tables for reference.

Folder notes could be useful too, depending how you want to set it up, and how detailed you want to have your tables.

Whatever you decide on, good luck. :)
