Yup, that’s exactly why I’m iffy about tying my configuration too closely to a specific platform. Luckily my setup was still pretty small last year so the only significant thing was Jellyfin, which I just rebuilt from scratch.

Paperless takes forever to start up, it seems to be something about setting permissions on all of its files.

Do you have anything in place to track updates to your custom apps, or are you just leaving everything on the latest tag?

Forgejo has an option to mirror a repository and update on a regular interval. It won’t get wikis or issues though. I’ve got mine set up to mirror a bunch of decomps.
