Yes it is!
Although I can’t migrate from CORE and have the service migrated seamlessly unless I use VMs.
And I don’t know docker containers, so it is something else I’d have to learn and understand. If I have to choose, I’d probably learn LXN/Incus instead.
I’ve been slowly, but steadily, migrating the services I run on my TrueNAS CORE (FreeBSD) from Jails to Debian VMs so I can migrate to TrueNAS 25 (no more SCALE it seems, and Linux) around April without many hurdles, hopefully.
Besides having to learn some systemd, it has been a smooth ride.
Now I’m down to the last 2 services, which I think are the most complicated setups I have and with no nice deb packages to ease installation: Paperless-ngx and Photoprism.
I’ll probably look into playing with Containers (LXC/Incus) to have the same lightweight and efficiency as Jails once the migration to Linux is done. But honestly, if everything is running nicely, I won’t be very motivated to do so, let’s see.
I had it initially setup to run on Wi-Fi too, battery or charging.
Then I had my battery drain to 30-40% during afternoons, when I’m used to reaching evenings above 60%. Check app usage on settings: Syncthing.
Since I use it mostly for backing up photos, I found it better to enable it only when charging.
Just configure it to only run while plugged to the wall, so you’re not surprised by the rare bug of it randomly turning your phone into a pocket warmer.
That is great news!
Now I might be able to uninstall Google Drive from my phone.
Everything runs locally, OCR, ML, etc, which can be a bit taxing on lower end hardware, but there are ways to disable the more advanced and computationally expensive features, like NLTK for advanced Natural Language processing.
Your data is stored locally on your server and is never transmitted or shared in any way.
There seems to be a huge overlap in functionality. But a major difference is that Paperwork is a local application that runs on Windows and Linux, while Paperless has a web front end that makes it accessible anywhere (it also has some independently native apps for mobile).
Paperless-ngx that allows you to self host an easily browseable archive of your documents. Fully featured with OCR, ML-powered categorization and the works.
KeepassXC replied on that thread that it wasn’t just the privacy problematic networking that was removed:
that bug report is bunk. He removed ALL features, not just networking. That includes yubikey support, auto-type and browser integration.
I thought it would be a good idea to create a port of Paperless-NGX to FreeBSD.
I mean, I have experience installing it for myself and saw that there is documentation on how to port stuff, making it available for all FreeBSD users. How hard could it be?
Well, I think I’ll get it running today, then it’ll be time to test all its features. Then convert my own setup to use the port and find all its bugs firsthand. Good times.

Nik clarified some questions and elaborated a lot on his issues with management:
Let’s see, they have mentioned they’ll come with an answer: https://birb.site/@charlag/110967792971490761
Quite sad, because Nik was the most active developer on the project. All my (small) contributions were reviewed by him: https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Atinsuke
Potential bias: I’m a developer at Spotify.
“Spotify forces you either to pay, listen to ads or to find unofficial, potentially dangerous versions to use it.”
I don’t think the company forces you to do anything. It is their business model, how they can provide copyrighted music to you and have a share of the pie too.
I’d say the very idea that Spotify is forcing you to pay with time and attention or money so you can have music conveniently streamed to your devices is a testament to the company’s success. It created this business model and fulfilled an apparently basic need to the point you think that charging for it is unfair.
But “forcing” is too much. You can always buy discs, digital downloads and so.
