Hello wizard,
May I ask what ur favorite “document management system” is (hopefully containerized in docker)?
There are several document management systems (DMS) that can be used on Debian and Android and can be synchronized using Syncthing. Here are some options:
Paperless-ngx:
Mayan EDMS:
LetoDMS:
ProjectSend:
These systems can be synchronized with Syncthing by setting up shared folders that are monitored and processed by the DMS. Syncthing itself supports the synchronization of metadata and can be used on various platforms, including Debian and Android.
Not a wizard, but I’m finding my docker configuration of paperless-ngx to meet my minimal needs.
Have y’all not heard of zotero?
Checked it out, honestly looks pretty cool! Might use it!
It’s not my fault. All the servers hosting papers name them like this. Go complain to them. No seriously, go complain to them. This has annoyed me for quite some time.
would you prefer thrid_paper_0.0.6.4_final_upload_final.pdf?
bitch_ass_transmission_bill_2025
taxes_2025
fucking_student_loan_bullshit_2025
Bullshit_thesis_final_2_fuck_school.pdf and be sure to forget renaming it before submission.
There’s another way?
How do you do it?

No, but seriously, half of my research time is wasted on renaming downloaded files. (Yeah, I know, there’s reference management software but people use different ones, so sharing papers or storing tgem for easy access is still dependent on properly named files.)

Why aren’t you just sending people a doi or a hyperlink if they want a paper? And if they have asked for a specific paper surely they can do the renaming?
