File names are for plebs.

Serious people use document management systems and rich metadata to manage these things.

Hello wizard,

May I ask what ur favorite "document management system" is (hopefully containerized in docker)?

[+] [email protected] -6 points 6 days ago

There are several document management systems (DMS) that can be used on Debian and Android and can be synchronized using Syncthing. Here are some options:

Paperless-ngx:
- Description: Paperless-ngx is an open-source document management system that offers OCR functionality and can extract metadata from documents. It can be synchronized with Syncthing by setting up a shared folder where documents are uploaded and automatically processed.
- Usage with Syncthing: Users can set up a Syncthing folder where documents are uploaded, and Paperless-ngx can automatically process these documents and extract metadata.
- Platforms: Available for Debian and Android.
- Source: Reddit Discussion.
Mayan EDMS:
- Description: Mayan EDMS is another open-source document management system that offers extensive features for managing documents and metadata.
- Usage with Syncthing: Similar to Paperless-ngx, Mayan EDMS can be configured to process documents from a Syncthing folder.
- Platforms: Available for Debian and Android.
- Source: Reddit Discussion.
LetoDMS:
- Description: LetoDMS is an open-source document management system based on PHP and MySQL. It supports document metadata, version control, and automated email notifications.
- Usage with Syncthing: LetoDMS can be configured to process documents from a Syncthing folder and manage metadata.
- Platforms: Available for Debian and Android.
- Source: Medevel Article.
ProjectSend:
- Description: ProjectSend is a secure, simple, and powerful open-source file-sharing system. It supports multiple languages and has a responsive design that works on various screen sizes.
- Usage with Syncthing: ProjectSend can be configured to manage files from a Syncthing folder and synchronize metadata.
- Platforms: Available for Debian and Android.
- Source: Medevel Article.

These systems can be synchronized with Syncthing by setting up shared folders that are monitored and processed by the DMS. Syncthing itself supports the synchronization of metadata and can be used on various platforms, including Debian and Android.

Thanks... but I wanted advice from a wizard, not one of their electric golems

As far as Linux and free software are concerned, I am one of the wizards. LLMs won't go away. The question is how you use them. The knowledge they contain far surpasses mine. I ask good questions and extract the knowledge I can use.

As the 'wizard' in this little tale, I can't really expand on what the golem has suggested, if self-hosted and open source is what you're after. They seem like solid suggestions as a starting point.

My experience is more in the 'enterprise' realm, dealing with tools like SharePoint or Oracle Webcenter - neither of which I would recommend. Ever. To anyone. Even if I hate them.

For my personal IKM needs I'm more focused on notes and relationships between concepts, and less on documents. I'm quite liking Obsidian, which I've switched to recently after giving up on Evernote.

Oracle

My condolences. Oracle kill squad is dispatched to your location. Please indicate your next of kin for the future lawsuit.
