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 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.
