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!
curios to see how well a PDF resume from this fares thru the various ATS’s that are out there
Totally what I was looking for will try imbed into my website.
Please do let me know how it goes, and if there’s anything I can do to make the process more simpler :)
Thanks mate, might try add it into my docker website, https://github.com/buildwithdan/flask-portfolio
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.
GIT is literally build for that.
I will definitely look into the possibility of having this on, although I suspect my database would blow up if I were to implement this on the cloud.
I cheeked out the homepage and saw a photo on the header. Shouldn’t you discourage use of an image on a resume?
doesn’t that put some people at risk to racial bias?
Entirely up to the user. All of the templates adapt depending on whether there’s a picture or not, so no one’s experience is hindered. But it’s true, it is discouraged in some regions, for good reason, but also expected in many other regions or industries.
Depending on the country, adding an image to your resume is still pretty standard.
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.
Thank you for the quick response ! Yes thats what i want!
I will raise it on Github.
Have a nice day!
this is awesome! well done
Hi, could you include a docker-compose file to the repository?
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!
Will do!
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!
I’m current taking a short break cause I’ve been working on this for more than a few months. Will be back soon with product guides, video tutorials and everything soon.
After 5 years I got laid off and had to rebuild mine, using a template from a “professional” that I hired like 7-9 years ago. I’ll definitely use this to update mine!
Looks great but needs a dark theme 😉
You can switch themes in the settings page, under “Profile”.
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.
Just finished building my new resume last night, now I’m waking up and I see this 😂 will definitely give it a try though!
Reactive Resume has helped people land jobs at these great companies
Has it now
As reported by users who’ve sent me messages, but the whole section was meant to be taken sarcastically. Of course just the resume alone doesn’t do anything, it’s their skills. And personally, I’ve always wanted to have a logo cloud on my website, they have always looked cool to me.
