DISCLAIMER: This is pretty much 100% AI generated. The project is kept really simple. Before you downvote, make me a generic webui for printers. 😉

I made this project to fill a need I had. I am not collecting internet points here, I don’t care if you don’t like it.

I found Akronae’s repo laying half broken on github, made it work, and thought it was a simple enough project that it could have a rewrite (it needed). I can not participate in Github so here you go, full new repo on an unreliable self-hosted forgejo instance. If you are interested, take it before my hardware fails again. :)

What is it?

It’s a web UI to upload documents and print them. I wanted that to print from any device in my home with zero config on device (think guests, family…). It pairs very nicely with scanserv.js.

It looks like this:

Remarks are welcome, but I do not guarantee maintenance. As we have seen the trend of AI projects not being maintained in time, I don’t expect this project to escape that fate.

And now an attempt to tag: @Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu

Edit: added one screenshot here and 2 other to the repo/readme and added the license GNU AGPLv3.

Edit2, 20260822: After many headaches, I started hosting also a registry (that thing needed to host container images ready to be pulled) and made prebuilt images for amd64/arm64 and started a proper release. You are welcome. Professional stuff, I tell you 😂.

Edit3: Do NOT expose to the internet as of v1.0.0, critical security fixes incoming.

      100% AI slop, WYSIWYG.

      Honestly no idea but the original repo might be slop as well, but mostly it had many outdated dependencies which made it very… not nice to use as a possibly web facing service. This version is much leaner and should be less outdated.

        This will never be exposed to net… I understand the risks, but at least fits a need I have, and nothing else come close.

        Don’t worry, it’s ok.

          Yeah at least this version 1.0.0 should NOT be exposed, I have at least one critical security measure to implement. I’ll work on that soon.

          Wait wtf. Did I just say I will maintain? Nooooooooooo…

              It should be fixed now. Please update your docker-compose because the env var ADMIN_PWD changed to ADMIN_PASS.

              And THANK YOU for your contribution!
