I am setting up my NAS right now, and I need some suggestions for apps that I can run on my NAS or self-host.

  • I have seen some online articles, but they are too confusing because they list too many apps for each category.

  • I want backup apps for iOS, Android, Mac and Windows. (It would be great if they could back up automatically).

  • I want to sync my calendars and contacts.

  • I want to download media like TV shows and movies. (And music, too). “Of course, only legal obtained from the internet cough.”

  • I want apps that let me access my data from anywhere.

  • I saw this cool thing where you could use a Raspberry Pi to access your NAS bios from your PC.

    This may sound exaggerated, but paperless-ngx combined with a good network scanner will change your life. All paper mail accessible anywhere and also searchable. Plus, it is much easier to just scan something and drop it in an archive box instead of trying to figure out which folder (banking or taxes or maybe bills?) to file it in AND still remember that decision years later when you need to find it.

      Brother ADS-1700W (edit: now that’s the exact model)

      Tiny,fast, scans double-sided straight to a network share. It’s the most amazing thing I’ve bought in years, literally.

      My printer/scanner doesn’t scan to FTP. Anyone out there shopping for a Brother Laser, step up to the MFC series that doesn’t require USB to scan, and also hardwired Ethernet. It’s only another $50 and will also include a document feeder.
