Hey r/selfhosted, get ready to craft your story like never before!

I’m thrilled to announce that Reactive Resume has just launched its latest version, and it's a game-changer in the resume-building space (at least, I’d like to think so).

Here’s a glimpse of some of the new features:

  • A sleek, polished user interface that makes navigation a breeze.
  • Faster PDF generation to get your resume out there quicker.
  • Integration with OpenAI for smarter assistance.
  • Brand new, highly customisable templates to fit your unique style.
  • Comprehensive documentation with user-friendly guides.
  • Enhanced security with two-factor authentication.
  • Available in multiple languages, contributed by the community.
  • Quality of life features such as locking resumes, adding personal notes to resumes, tracking views and downloads on your public resume etc.

The best part? It’s 100% free, forever! No ads, no user tracking, just pure resume-building bliss. Plus, for the tech-savvy, it’s also open-source on GitHub and self-hostable through Docker, something special just for this community.

Ready to give it a spin?
You can visit the website on https://rxresu.me, sure. But you're on r/selfhosted, so you're probably more interested in the "how to host it myself" part of the launch. The link to the repository is right here: https://github.com/AmruthPillai/Reactive-Resume/

Self-hosting Reactive Resume is super simple, compared to the nightmare it was in earlier versions having to ensure multiple services are communicating alright. You can check the GitHub repo (under tools/compose for many docker compose examples of how the project could be set up).

I'm excited to see how you make the most of it!

I did what I could man. I'm just one guy, a front-end guy even. I even made an announcement at the top of my GitHub readme looking for dev-ops or backend dev to help me make the self-hosting process better, but even with a project as popular as this, nobody came to help. So naturally I picked up as much I could myself and did it.

I honestly don't know how it can be made easier though. It's just a single service now, which needs to speak to other services. But if you still feel it's convoluted, fork the repo and help me make it better, teach me what good self-hosted apps are supposed to look like.
