Home Assistant! You can host it inside a VM.

I've got a pretty booring setup compared to most 🤣. Ubuntu Server running the following in docker,

• Plex
• Audiobookshelf
• Komga

Audiobookshelf has come a really long way. The version out now is heaps and bounds better than what it was 1 year ago.

Here are a few I like:

• Jellyfin - a media server software that allows you to organize and stream your personal media collection.
• NextCloud - a self-hosted file sync and sharing platform. Not as good as Google Drive (of course), but it can do the job.
• Bitwarden (with a Rust-written alternative named vaultwarden) - a password manager for storing and autofilling login credentials.
• Matrix - an open network for secure, decentralized communication. WhatsApp, but in the Fediverse.
• PiHole - a DNS sinkhole that blocks ads and other unwanted content.
• Mycroft - an open-source voice assistant. You can make your own Google Home with it.
• OctoPrint - web interface that allows you to control 3D printers. Pretty handy if you have one!
• Gitea - a lightweight self-hostable GitHub
• Home Assistant - an open-source home automation platform. Can integrate a lot of other things in your house, including some of the things I mentioned above.
• The X-arr initiative - a collection of tools for managing and organizing media libraries. Pretty good if you deploy your own media server:
  • Sonarr - Select TV shows and it will automatically download episodes for you.
  • Radarr -> movies
  • Lidarr -> music

Syncthing to replace Google drive and Photoprism for Photos. Both have a great functionality and run well on my 12yrs old home server with 2gb of ram.

Here are some I find really useful:

• Jellyfin (media interface)
• paperless-ng (document store with OCR, tagging, search, etc.)
• Miniflux (RSS reader)

I have two instances of BookStack. A public-facing one for bird stuff, and one for home stuff. I also self-host an instance of Plausible Analytics as a privacy-respecting alternative to Google Analytics.

Personally, as well as NextCloud, I'd host instances of LibreX, CloudTube, PiHole, Gitea, XMPP, and CryptPad.

If it's fun you're after, though, why not try hosting a Minecraft server? And how about XMPP or Matrix, to keep in touch with friends?

I'm using the following:

Plex for music/anime/tv/movies, calibre webserver for ebooks/manga, qbittorrent web+Prowlarr to search for and download content, SyncThing to keep things in sync between my server and desktop, and I'm also file sharing with nicotine++
