Hey /r/selfhosted,

Just wanted to share that Warracker, the self-hosted warranty tracker, and asset manager, now includes full Paperless-ngx integration in version 0.10.1.3! 🎉

This was one of the most frequently requested features from Reddit and the broader self-hosting community, and it's finally been implemented thanks to all the great feedback and discussion here.

🧰 What is Warracker?

Warracker is a self-hosted web application for managing warranties, receipts, and documents, files and more for individuals and teams, with multi-user support and OIDC. It's ideal for keeping track of purchases and getting reminders before coverage expires.

It’s great for:

• Tracking electronics, tools, appliances, etc.
• Storing digital receipts, manuals, and service records
• Managing everything without relying on cloud services
