Self Hosted DMS suggestions (lemm.ee)

Greetings self hosters!

I'm looking for suggestions on a document management service.

I currently use next cloud (AIO) to live collaborate, edit, and store my documents, but I want to be able to embed them in my WordPress site. Currently this is impossible to do nicely with nextcloud.

Do you happen to know of a self hostable document sharing solution that allows me to use the next cloud WebDAV credentials and embed those documents into my WordPress pages? Also if there is a full text search functionality that I can also embed into WordPress?

Any suggestions would be great! I am testing filestash.app and it works, but its not super reliable and does not offer a built in full text search despite the tin claim.

What would you do?

Filestash developer here. It's the first time I hear about anyone having reliability issue with Filestash, can you provide more details about the issues you've run into as without specific examples, it’s difficult to identify and fix any potential problem.

Regarding full-text search: There are multiple approaches. One such implementation is open-sourced and available here: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/tree/master/server/plugin/plg_search_sqlitefts

The default search is indeed a recursive because not everyone fully understand that creating a full text search index come with downloading potentially a lot of data and if you use a storage like S3 which charge a lot for bandwidth could cause some large billing issues ....

Hi Michael, Ive made a bug report on your github covering my issue.

I should clarify its not your code causing me issues, Ive quite enjoyed filestash as a base.

The problem has consistently been the office doc viewing integration. Onlyoffice did not reliably allow me to share documents without issue, and the new collaborra integration isn't functional using the default docker compose.

Do you happen to have a docker compose script on hand that allows for multiple different office doc integrations that I can swap between in /admin?

That way when one stops working I can use an alternative?
