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 have used this in the past and was very good. Just creating a new CV now and it totally locked up on me but thats probably down to firefox.
Whilst working my way through the skills section, its quite annoying that you cant drag the skills into order/there own place. I’ve had to delete and add again on quite a few occasions.
Skills again, would be nice to have an option of just entering text or skills separated by the commas.
I’m quite new to self-hosting apps so it could be my mistake, but I can’t figure out how to solve the problem of “P1001: Can’t reach database server at” in postgres.
Downvote me to the moon: Selfhosting this is still entirely more convoluted than I feel it should need to be.
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.
I must be more of a noob than I initially realised. I simply can’t get this to work. Is there a video tutorial anywhere yet? Thank you in advance!
/u/AmruthPillai - hoping you can help unblock me on one thing. Running ReactiveResume via Portainer using the following docker compose script. Everything works fine, except PDF generation - which doesn’t seem to do “anything”. Nothing ever downloads, no separate window opens. The solution is awesome btw - I’m excited to get this working - just need to figure out the PDF part.

# The only two exposed ports here are from minio (:9000) and the app itself (:3000).
# If these ports are changed, ensure that the env vars passed to the app are also changed accordingly.
