    I use this in my house, it’s great. I chose this over others because it allows defining the url path specifically. (Domain.com/whatever)

    I have all my pdf manuals and docs uploaded to Paperless ngx. From within Paperless I make them externally linkable.

    I take those long nonsense links, shorten them using chhoto with meaningful paths (like /mitersaw) then convert all of those to qr codes that I print out and stick to whatever object is relevant.

    Say if I’m working on my chainsaw or whatever and need the manual, point my phone at the qr code and open the manual from my network for my exact model.

      That’s great to know. Btw, you don’t actually need to specify the url path for it to work. That’s just for convenience of copying the link from the UI. It’ll just work as long as the server is reachable at that address.
