A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

I'm still looking for a good self hosted alternative specifically for hosting PDF's with full text search ability. They all either seem way too complex or way too limited with PDF (no search or preview).
And then there's the issue of syncing everything out of Evernote.
I use NGx paperless to store our docs, it also has full text pdf search. https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx
I've checked it out before and it does look like a top contender. I have 2 major outstanding questions/issues.
First, how to migrate? I have tens of thousands of notes in many folders. Not something I'm willing to do manually.
Second, does it allow for mixed notes of text and pdf or images of written notes?
The barrier to entry has kept me out a bit because it looks like a big job, but would be interested to hear if someone else had pulled it off.
I use Joplin. I selfhost the Joplin server and just Sync my notes across devices.
I love Joplin. So muchhh
How well does it work with notes with documents and text combined? Any easy way to migrate from Evernote?
Just saw this link and it seems that the migration is pretty seamless. https://www.sqlservercentral.com/blogs/migrating-from-evernote-to-joplin
Yeah I've looked at that. Unfortunately they took out the capability to download whole notebooks quite a while ago. Now you can only do 50 notes at a time, would take ages.
I have never used Evernote so not sure of there is a migration path. However, I have notes with documents, text, links and even screenshots and it works like a champ with all of those. I could never use any other notes app again
