I use Calibre on my laptop to manage my book collection and Calibre-web on a server with the Kobo extension enable to sync books automatically with my Kobo.
It works pretty well!
There's no technical problem with running a mail server on the same server as websites. The only concern is simply that web applications are much more likely to have bugs and get hacked than your mail server. If a web app does get hacked, all of your mail is potentially compromised. If you don't care about that, I'd say ... go for it.
Assuming you already have a shared calendar system, just setup a shared calendar for whatever resources you need to schedule.
I use a todo app for this. I have a Read/Watch list and just add things there.
I like this because it's super fast/easy to add something, I can sync todos to all my devices via CalDAV, and I am regularly reminded about them when I use my todo list. :-)
KVM (Kernel-based virtual machine) is just a specific technology to provide a VPS (virtual private server).
There's no reason for you to care about the tech stack at this point, just get a VPS that is geographically close to you and is reasonably priced.
I like the $5 / month Vultr VPS, but there are other cheaper options.
There are many, many prebuilt open source projects.
You might find starting with something CasaOS, Unraid, or TrueNAS an easier way to start. I haven't used any of them, others may have better suggestions on ways to start on a VPS.
Rsync is great, but unless you are using a system on top of rsync (eg. rsync-backup) it only gives you a single copy which isn't the best option for backups.
For example, you accidentally change a file but by the time you notice the version you want has been overwritten.
I love projects like this, but I'm really struggling to think of a use case for it? Have you had any thoughts about how people might use it?
thanks!
I'm not aware of anything purpose built that does this, but should be pretty easy to build something with Budibase or similar lowcode tool?
If you can be bothered putting in all the ISBNs into your database, it should even be pretty straight forward to implement a bar code scanner to lookup.
I use N8N and Airtable at work.
We used to use Make.com, and I actually like N8N more, it's much easier to debug and see what's happening as you build the workflow.
Airtable is irritating but also amazing.
The main advantage of both is that relatively non-technical people can do useful things. So while I'd often rather write code than use N8N, if I use N8N it means other people I work with can fix/improve it. Same with Airtable.
Most people have moved from Jekyll to Hugo. But there are lots of them Google SSG or static site generators.
