Not locally hosted, but pretty powerful and has a free tier.

Basically spreadsheets but superpowered.





Stripe has pretty robust subscription management. And their APIs are a dream to work with.


Depending on how nerdy you want to be, hledger is pretty robust.

It would take a bit of setup, but you can automate transaction imports and apply rules to categorise transactions automatically.

AWS Route53. Lets me keep all my domains in one place. If Cloudflare did .au I’d switch to that.



Cloudflare offers a lot of services, including domain registration and DNS hosting.


After the pricing change, I believe it’s still free (or negligible) for low email traffic.

5,000 emails per month are still free, at $0.07 per 1,000 after that.


SES is pretty solid and easy to work with. Free for small email volumes like your use case.

You need to verify your domain and request production access explaining your use-case. If you’re only sending to known recipients, you can just verify them and not worry about the “production access”.

This library looks like it could be a good starting point - https://convert.js.org/



What’s the name of that plugin?


What version of docker/docker compose are you running? You can find this by running docker version and docker compose version

From their documentation, you need 1.24.0 or greater.
