Useful apps to self-host (lemmy.world)

I am setting up my NAS right now, and I need some suggestions for apps that I can run on my NAS or self-host.

I have seen some online articles, but they are too confusing because they list too many apps for each category.
I want backup apps for iOS, Android, Mac and Windows. (It would be great if they could back up automatically).
I want to sync my calendars and contacts.
I want to download media like TV shows and movies. (And music, too). “Of course, only legal obtained from the internet cough.”
I want apps that let me access my data from anywhere.
I saw this cool thing where you could use a Raspberry Pi to access your NAS bios from your PC.

I’d say it’s about designing a good strategy. I have local backups on my NAS and a nightly incremental backup to cloud locations from there. That way the capture from my local equipment to the NAS is lightning fast and it’s not a big deal to have it take a few hours to reach the cloud. Also having a NAS on a power backup is a must-have.
