Title says it all. Any recommendations for a self-hosted service to store and organize academic papers? Ideally with the capacity to manage citations as well?
UPDATE: I’m going to use jabref for now while I try to get dspace set up. I’ll keep the thread updated for anyone interested in this in the future. Thanks y’all!

Zotero + WebDAV for me too (I use the Caddy WebDAV module).
Over the years i have settled on zotero with th webdav backup to a self-hosted nextcloud server. Works great. Recently i started using the bookmark manager Hoarder and save articles i find there until i read them. My workflow is
- get google scholar alerts sent to RSS feed (locally hosted freshrss)
- save articles in Hoarder that i intend to read
- when i have time, read articles in Hoarder, add the citation to zotero, take notes in Obsidian on the article and link it to the zotero item using the Zotero plugin, and then also move the article to a ‘already read’ list in Hoarder.
Kinda complicated but it’s been working!
I use Zotero and backup the biblatex and PDF directories. It works, but I would be very interested in a proper self-hosted solution
Zotero supports selfhosted WebDAV storage
I don’t have any experience with it, but this is what a lot of academic organizations use:
Personally I just use Linkwarden. I’ve been meaning to make a PR to get the auto tagging working on PDFs, maybe someday.
Not sure about the self-host part but Jabref and Zotero might fit.
I would recommend https://www.jabref.org/ Not self hosted, but you can share the bib file and related folder quite easily.
