Hi everyone 👋

I've been working on LX Family Planner — a self-hosted family organizer that bundles the stuff families actually need into one app, instead of spreading it across five. It runs on Docker / Unraid / Umbrel / Proxmox / plain Node.js, MIT-licensed.

What it does:

• 📅 Shared calendars with reminders
• ✅ Tasks & chores with approval workflow for kids
• 🛒 Shopping lists (incl. Bring! integration)
• 🍝 Meal planning & recipes
• 💬 Family chat with optional guest invites
• 📁 Family files / media
• 👶 Child profiles with playful missions & rewards
• 🐾 Pet profiles (care & health only)
• 🔔 Notifications via Gotify / ntfy
• 🌐 DE + EN interface, Android app available

Why self-hosted: All data stays on your own server. Adults get a calm planning workspace, parents keep control over approvals/integrations, and there's role-based access so kids see what they should see.

Integrations: Nextcloud, Home Assistant, Bring!, Gotify, ntfy

• 🌐 Live demo: https://familie.laxxx-lab.de/
• 🐳 Docker: docker pull ghcr.io/laxxx-lab/lx-family-planner:latest
• 📦 Also in: Unraid Community Applications, Umbrel App Store
• 📱 Android APK in the README

Quick start (Docker):

yaml

services:
  lx-family-planner:
    image: ghcr.io/laxxx-lab/lx-family-planner:latest
    ports:
      - "3001:3001"
    environment:
      - APP_SECRET=<32+ random chars, keep stable across updates>
      - REGISTRATION_MODE=first-family
    volumes:
      - ./data:/app/data
      - ./backups:/app/backups
    restart: unless-stopped

I'd love feedback — especially from anyone running a family setup on a homeserver. What's missing for your use case?

Thanks for checking it out! 🙌
