Any idea for a self hosted home maintenance reminder system? Essentially something that will have reminders for things that reoccur regularly either ie yearly, monthly etc. Ideally it would have some way of checking it off to show the task was completed and then it would reoccur at the preset time next month /year etc.
I probably wouldn’t use something specialized to home maintenance. Just any todo/task management system that lets you have a recurring task to tick off. There are tons of those out there.
Personally, I use repeated tasks in org-agenda in emacs for most of this, but I wouldn’t recommend picking up emacs simply to use org-agenda. But if you are an emacs user, then it might be a good option.
I haven’t used Taskwarrior myself, but I’ve seen a few people recommend it for Linux use, and if I weren’t using an emacs-oriented system, I’d probably look into it. It supports recurring tasks.
I am one of those happy taskwarrior users. For more advanced recurrence syntax in taskwarrior there’s also the relatively new nautical extension. It essentially splits recurrence into things that recur based on calendar/clock events (e.g. every first workday of the month, every second Sunday, etc.) or based on previous completions (e.g. do something 3 days after last time, or every x hours after last doing it).
It’s pretty neat and functional but, fair warning, also early on in development and changing quite radically through its versions still.
