A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I've used filthis.com for years to automatically grab PDFs for credit card bills, mortgage statements, bank statements, and utility bills. It's taken a lot of the headache out of archiving financial records.

I just heard FileThis is shutting in the next couple of months. Does anyone have service they use for automatically downloading this kind of stuff? I'm open to paid, free, hosted, and self-hosted projects.

None of my mine come as PDF attachments, it's always "click here to see your statement" which goes through the login process to the company's portal. I get it, they think they're doing it for security. But email is no less secure than paper mail and they send paper statements in regular mail, so why not email?

That sucks. I don't think it's a security thing, they want you to log into their website because they can track your interactions.

I do hope that you find a solution that meets your needs.
