I just recently started playing around with an old pc as my homeserver and am curious of any recommendations for lesser known self hostable foss software that you would recommend

Have linked one :) For remote access, I wouldn't necessarily use traefik at the edge. The safest solution would probably installing zerotier/tailscale on the remote server and accessing traefik through that. That way you don't have to expose unnecessary parts or worry about robustness of authentication etc.

If it is a single computer you can easily make a two computer network using the instructions from wireguard archwiki page and you're all set :)

Ooh. I signed up for tailscale, but havent gotten the configuration right I think. Also signed up for NextDNS. Got some work to do but no longer have the time.

What I actually want to do is make it so I can give out accounts to services to my family and girlfriend so they can watch movies and whatever.

Tailscale is one step to many. I think I will need to purchase a domain name or set up a VPN, which seems a little scary to me.
