Audiobookshelf is an excellent self-hosted server for audiobooks, podcasts, and ebooks. I decided to integrate this service with S3 as the primary storage layer, as I centralized all my data in Object Storage long ago.

KeyDB Performance: Switching from Redis to a Multi-Threaded Drop-in Alternative

I just read a few pages with benchmarks about Redis vs. KeyDB, and my curiosity was piqued. KeyDB, a multi-threaded fork of Redis, promised significant performance and memory usage improvements. This guide shows how I switched three different Redis use cases to KeyDB.

Container Storage Architecture: Deploying Rclone S3 Mounts via Docker Volume Plugin

I rely on S3 for central storage. Since some tools do not support native S3 yet, I use rclone. This article details how I implement a persistent S3 mount directly into a Docker container (paperless-ngx) using the rclone Docker Volume Plugin, which is a superior method to traditional host-level mounts.

Docker Update Automation: Advanced Bash Pipelining. paperless-ngx

This article documents a reliable update script for the Paperless-NGX stack, which minimizes the risk of container failures during automated maintenance. The focus here is not just on simple automation, but on ensuring the integrity of the process—especially handling logs and exit codes within complex Bash pipelines.

Paperless-NGX Maintenance: Routine Updates and Major Stack Upgrades

This article documents the process for updating and upgrading the Paperless-NGX stack. This covers everything from simple container image updates to complex major version upgrades of backend services like PostgreSQL.

Paperless-NGX Setup: Installation, Security, and NGINX Integration

When I read about paperless-ngx, I was immediately drawn to the idea of having all my documents indexed (via OCR) and centrally stored. With a proper tagging system, exporting my documents for my annual tax declaration should only take seconds.
