Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I made something crude with python and flask, but it's only to print address labels, always the same settings (paper size and so on)
So i just put a textbox, press the button and it prints there.
When printing generic stuff, you would need to set paper type, paper size, color or BW, if have both sides printed, if printing from a specific tray, then some kind of user authentication (i am lazy and i didn't care about privacy so i used cloudflare access), so the complexity becomes much bigger.
Before making my crude script I searched long time for a free or cheap solution, but I didn't find. If you find, let me know
Yes, this is what I am afraid of... There is nothing out there for this task.
Hope to find something or maybe try to create something using lpr on the background... But this is the las hope as I have little time.
