There are plenty of document management solutions. What is the actual problem you’re trying to solve? Not just “it’s a mess” because I can solve that with a trash can. What are the needs of the users?

The value in those products is that it takes much less management, brings much greater reliability, and support teams if you have issues. If your dinky NAS shits the bed, the company’s data is gone, the company is kaput, you are all out of a job.
Of course there is a middle ground. I know there are plenty of open-source hosted products. They’re still subscriptions, but that monthly expense probably comes out cheaper than the time and effort building and maintaining your custom systems.
If you still really want to host it yourself, make sure you run through your disaster and recovery scenarios. You will have to have a 3-2-1 backup system. And remember because shit will go wrong, two is one, and one is none. That includes you personally, in the event you get hit by a
buslottery.I would recommend an actual Dell tower server with idrac for remote management, and with prosupport for when something blows up (sometimes literally, I had one PSU go bang on a server under my desk at one point). Fill it with enough disks for redundancy and data growth for the next few years, but leaving room for expansion. Put your favorite hypervisor on it, set up some vms or containers to run those services, test backups, and document everything so that a semi-trained monkey can follow it.
But don’t host your own email. Getting each individual email server to not consider you spam is a Sisyphean task.
For business? What’s the value to the business over services like Office 365?
Personally, unless there’s a very good reason for it, I strongly recommend against this. I used to work for a company that did business IT, and there were far too many times we got called in to take over for a guy that did it himself and got in over his head, left the company, or just plain died, and it ended up costing the company much more in the long run.

catloaf@lemm.eeto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Recipes, Meal Planning, and Shopping ListEnglish1·5 days agoIt looks like it’s an open request on Mealie. I don’t see one for Tandoor. Shame, because Mealie already has aliases for ingredients, it shouldn’t be too hard to extend that to respect the language setting.
I never said anything about labels, I said tags. https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/image/tag/
That has nothing to do with my question.
Which, if any, tag are you using? You may need to use latest.
How do you know they haven’t been updated? Is there an update available?

That’s Alyssa Rosenzweig. Lina appeared by vtube stream.
They wanted to write more drivers in Rust. They sought the approval of one of the key maintainers of part of the Linux kernel even though their approval wasn’t needed. That guy rejected any new Rust code due to personal dislike. Obviously this upset people, and Linus didn’t step in to manage the dispute until the drama had blown up.
Rumored, not confirmed.

Man I was suppressing the red flags up until now; this is the straw that breaks the camel’s back. You are going to get shafted at this job. It might be because someone is embezzling, they’re committing fraud in their manufacturing processes, or one of the owners is going to cut and run and leave the rest of you holding the bag. Maybe one day you’ll just show up and the doors are all locked.
You need to do absolutely everything by the book, document, document, document, CYA, and in a way that when shit goes south you’ll still have that documentation. And always have an exit plan.
