I got

A RAID NAS for general
A Firefly-iii instance for expense analysis and stuff
And MQTT broker for my ESP32 projects
A webdav server for calendar and address book syncing and general file syncing for some things like joplin

There are probably other things that I don't remember right now.

In terms of hardware I got a 6 core AMD 5600X machine with a 5700XT GPU and 16GB of ram for almost all my services and personal use.

I also have an AMD 3600 machine with 3x8TB harddrives for network storage.

Hi, could you tell me the kinds of IoT projects you dabble in? I have always wanted to use the ESP32 and other microcontrollers and build something useful but I can't really find any ideas/lack technical expertise. Would be great to know what you're working on/the projects you have built and what they are used for.

Thanks!

There's an existing project made by a youtuber called Dave Plummer. He made a project that controls a strip light using the FastLED library where he made several effects here. You can fork or straight up copy his project. There is also the MQTT library where you can communicate withyoutr ESP32 in a very simple and mature protocol so you can do some crazy things there, like controlling a solid state relay for lights or something.
