I’m already hosting pihole, but i know there’s so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!
Nextcloud to replace Google drive/docs. Jellyfin or plex for media. The arrs to aquire media (if you have the patience). A blog? A game server to play with friends.
I suggest using docker and docker-compose as it makes everything way easier. It does still take time and it can be frustrating but it is very rewarding.
Second nextcloud. The apps make it an amazing swiss army knife.
Nextcloud news has become my preferred way to read many news sites.
Nextcloud music lets you stream from your server to your phone, and also lets you manage podcasts.
Nextcloud deck lets you manage tasks using kanban methods.
Nextcloud mail lets you access your mail from one spot.
There’s mastodon integration that shows your last few notifications and the last few posts on your timeline.
There’s a huge number of apps that can do a shocking number of tasks, in addition to being a Google drive replacement with as much disk space as you want to add.
For me it was Code Server. I write a lot of text and having my Markdown files available on every device is nice :)
I’m new to self hosting as well, so far I’ve set up Nextcloud and FreshRSS. Wanted to look at PiHole myself next!
If you don’t have one already, I suggest keeping an on this account for updates to various pi inventory.
Any opinion on freshrss vs tt-rss?
I haven’t looked into tinytiny RSS, freshrss was the only one I heard of tbh
Paperless-ng (or ngx, but I don’t run that flavor)
Calibre for ebook and digital comics collection, plex for movies/tv/music
Nginx as a reverse proxy in front of those for remote https access.
Ejabberd/prosody to emancipate yourself and your family from WhatsApp/Messenger/Telegram/Signal/…
There’s no reason you should disclose that much personal information to 3rd parties. The nefew’s birthday pictures don’t need to be hosted at Facebook. You don’t need to tell Signal whether you are typing from your workplace’s restroom or yours.
