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
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.
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
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.
Looking into the github issues there are some problems with pagination where if you have a resume over a certain size you are SOL with formatting issues where you are forced to do insanely labour intensive makework to reformat the resume due to these limitations.

That guy has too much time on his hands. Get a job (and shave off those sideburns), hippy! /s
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.
This is great! Any plans to update the unraid template? Pretty please :)
We need a good working Unraid template for this 🙏🏻🧐
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.
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!
Hey, I was planing to refresh my resume. I will definitely use this, looks great. Thanks !
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!
SMTP is optional, so is Sentry. If you don’t include the env variable, the module isn’t loaded in the app itself.
As for 2FA, it was just a few bits of code, so it adds almost zero weight to the instance. The project is very much catered to being self-hosted and meant for a single person to use. The rest are just nice features to have on a cloud instance, but they don’t add any overhead to the server.
Holy shit, it looks slick! Will for sure give it a spin!
Thank you so much! :)
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!
