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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I selfhost ScanservJS, uses sane under the hood and provides a nice web URL for scans. You can store the scans on a network or shared folder for paperless NGX.
I just wish something similar existed for printing as well...
Didn't know that exists, that's pretty neat! However, not really what i'm looking for in this case, because i don't want to use a device other than the printer itself. With scan to folder, you just set the MFP to scan something to an FTP, SMB or whatever folder. The ET-4850 unfortunately doesn't support that, so i'm looking for an alternative...i could just run a Windows VM on my Proxmox and let that do the "Scan-To" stuff, but that's pretty resource intensive... But the more i look in to it, it seems there is no solution (except a Windows VM) for this, as SANE only "speaks to the MFP" and the MFP can't talk to SANE via WSD...
I mean, why on earth use a windows VM??? Use a very simple Linux one without any GUI just install sane+ScanservJS and you are in business. Zero overhead.
