• My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file

  Joplin, an open source, extendable, Markdown-based hierarchical note-taking app: https://joplinapp.org/ It lets you choose a synchronization backend, offers applications for every major desktop and mobile OS (also has a terminal version).

• Searching for a media tagging website like Tagspace but self-hosted and free

  Hydrus? It's not quite true "self-hosted" (more of a standalone program with the ability to be configured to accept external api requests) but with the api and external programs set to interface with it, you can sort of set it up that way. https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/.

• Embed url into downloaded file

  If you want a concrete recommendation, all I can say without knowing exactly what you're doing is: you should at the very least consider solutions other than editing the file. This could mean sidecar files (e.g. info.txt), containers with metadata (e.g. warc), database applications (e.g. hydrus, even though it's a mess), etc. Source: over 2 years ago

• Image library sorting solution.

  Hydrus (https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/)? Not necessarily self-hosted but it does have a docker image, and I think there's ways to turn it into a self-hosted solution (hydrus.app comes to mind). Source: almost 3 years ago

• Looking for a self-hosted Google photos alternative with tags

  Hey Data Curators, I need your advice! I've been using Google Photos to 'organise' my picture library for the past few years, but now I'd like to replace it. For many obvious reasons. What I need is something that I can host myself (like piwigo or lychee), with decent mobile support and reliable auto upload from android. As well as that I really fancy some kind of tag-based file management system on top of that,... Source: about 3 years ago
