Hi /c/selfhosted,

it's been some time since I have posted an update about PdfDing, the selfhosted PDF manager, viewer and editor offering a seamless user experience on multiple devices. It’s designed be to be minimal, fast, and easy to set up using Docker. You can find the repository here.

Since my last post the following features were added to the app:

  • Share PDF collections with the public with a link and QR code. Optionally, shares can be protected with a password and a deletion date. Until now only single PDFs could be shared.
  • Use bulk actions for managing multiple PDFs at once. Available bulk actions include adding, deleting, starring + tag and collection adjustments. It's no longer necessary to waste time by processing one PDF after another.
  • Multi-Factor Authentication. Users that aren't using SSO can now secure their accounts by using a second factor (webauthn + TOPT)
  • Other than this there are several minor UI and quality of life improvements that (hopefully) make the app a bit more beautiful and easier to use.

If you are using PdfDing I would appreciate it greatly if you would take a couple of minutes to complete the small survey. This will help me to improve PdfDing in a way that benefits you most.

Last but not least I am quite happy about the nice and steady growth of PdfDing. By now it has almost 300k image pulls and over 1.7k stars. Since the popularity is increasing but not exploding I am not overwhelmed with feature requests and the general maintenance. It also means that I am spared from the attack of AI slop PRs that target more popular projects.
