I use WireGuard to access my home services and for net-forwarding when I’m outside.
To set it up, I followed this simple guide.

FreshRSS has been working great for me! It even has the ability for web scraping if you need it.

Also, I’d like to point out that Overleaf’s hosting and pricing options are quite reasonable, especially if you’re working for a university or institution: https://www.overleaf.com/user/subscription/plans

While I did take advantage of the free Overleaf Pro during my university days, I don’t have it anymore after graduating, and so I’m missing some features which their free tier doesn’t have.
By self-hosting I’m given better control, and all those features I once had before.

Also, the whole point of this community is to kind of avoid relying on third-party hosting, and especially paying for it too🙂

I checked the volumes that I included in the compose file, and looked for either a texlive, tlmgr or a package folder and didn’t find anything. I think it’s safe to assume that you would need to reinstall the packages if you recreated the containers.

This is a problem that I didn’t consider. I will try to make an update to my compose file that will keep the packages persistent.

Check above for the update!

There’s some tinkering with their docker-compose.yml to make it work. Here’s mine you can copy if you want to get it up and running. I don’t use nginx or any reverse-proxy btw. All data is saved in their own individual volumes which you can back up:

Some of my documents rely on certain packages which didn’t come with the Docker image. You will need to run
docker exec sharelatex-sharelatex-1 tlmgr update --self;docker exec sharelatex-sharelatex-1 tlmgr install scheme-full
so that you can render your documents properly if they utilize certain packages.

Optionally—since the full scheme takes about 8 GB and you may not need everything—you can replace scheme-full with a different scheme you can find by running
docker exec sharelatex-sharelatex-1 tlmgr info schemes
The i before any scheme name means that it is already installed.

Update:
Included a texlive volume to save any packages that were installed, so when recreating the containers, they will persist.

Maybe I have mistaken you for a troll, but your behavior and recent posts on this community say otherwise as they are low-effort and look like bait. Asking questions is always a good thing, I don’t want to discourage you from that. Though you should keep the hypothetical, unrealistic ones in your head as they are contributing nothing here and only waste other people’s time.

It seems you are just young and naive judging from your profile picture, so here’s some advice:
Post less, and research/read more before asking anything. It’ll make you grow faster, not only as a developer, but it also teaches you to think things through better and so you can learn things easily in the future. (RTFM anyone?)

Stop feeding the troll…
