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!

      Please do let me know how it goes, and if there’s anything I can do to make the process more simpler :)

    This looks really nice. A really good feature to have would be able to have version history of the resume so I can revert or just see how the resume has changed over time.

    Perfect timing. I quit just today :D

    Just installed with docker with this and it works great. https://github.com/AmruthPillai/Reactive-Resume/blob/main/tools/compose/simple.yml

    After inserting a key created on https://platform.openai.com/api-keys , I tried the GPT functionality, but I always receive an error in a toast notification

    404 This is a chat model and not supported in the v1/completions endpoint. Did you mean to use v1/chat/completions?

    Also, does it utilize GPT-3.5 or GPT-4

      I believe they have made some changes to the OpenAI API since I last did the integration, will look into this tomorrow. The model is set to use gpt-3.5-turbo, but I would soon implement a dropdown to allow the user to select a model from a list.

    Why does it need authentication? In fact, why need a backend at all and not just fully client-side?

    Hello! Thank you for this great app. Just a quick question, how do so i disable new sign ups? (I have disabled github and google env variables but when trying to use the old variables PUBLIC_FLAG_DISABLE_SIGNUPS it doesn’t work for email_auths).

      There’s a new env (described in the compose file also) called DISABLE_EMAIL_AUTH which would disable all email flows (login/register). If you need to allow email login but disable registration, that’s not really a feature yet, but please raise an issue on GitHub so I can track it. Will implement it as soon as I can.

    I didn’t have the time to spin it up locally so I took a look at your hosted version and noticed there’s no custom CSS section. Is this missing in the self-hosted version too? If so, I’ll stay with my still working v3.

    Also, do you have any links for adapting/creating my own template? Some issues are difficult to fix with CSS only.

    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!

    Downvote me to the moon: Selfhosting this is still entirely more convoluted than I feel it should need to be.

    I’ll be setting this up for sure as I was looking for something like this. Thanks for making this!

      No, thank you! And please do let me know how your self-hosting experience was. If there’s anything I can do to simplify the process, happy to!

    Whoa, this looks awesome. I’ve been using https://read.cv but it’s got way less features, and it also seems they’ve started to pivot more and more into being a kind of a social network which I’m not particularly interested in.

    The only thing I’m kind of worried about is that this looks somewhat heavy for a single-user instance? Like, I don’t probably need 2FA or Sentry or even SMTP for password resets. Still though, will try!
