PhotoPrism is a really big one for me. You will need some computing power and storage, but being able to run your own Google Photos is amazing. Including AI features like object and face detection (if you want).
syncthing works on every device and substitutes for cloud storage services. pictures taken with a phone end up quickly in the shared folder on my desktop. etc.
Lemmy is pretty fun to host. Doubly so if you host a private instance with low latency; you'd basically be defederation proof.

Vaultwarden!!! There's lots of nice things that may or may not be good for you depending on your needs. But vaultwarden is straight up essential.
I self host like 20 services, but I'm way too scared to host my own password manager.
If I have any issues and the data for any of my services gets wiped, I'll be annoyed but I'll be fine. If I was self hosting Vaultwarden and my data got wiped, it'd be extremely frustrating.
Vaultwarden keeps an encrypted file local to the device you access it from, like your phone, and if the instance goes down you're still able to access them but not add new ones. This let's you export the file into a replacement instance.

Trillium notes and Bitwarden.
The note is packed with features and it can build maps from your tags aromatically. It helped me easily recall things
Bitwarden, because password need to be secured.

SearxNG for search: https://docs.searxng.org/
You can try it using a public instance if you like, but since installing it is easy and painless, just go for it.

Anyone have a solid how-to for the layman to host their own lemmy instance? I heard it improves browsing a lot.
Ansible guide. I didn't follow this one myself but the guy who set up my instance said it was pretty easy

...or join a smaller instance.

For me, it was a wiki/knowledge base - I've had dozens over the years as I've tried to find the 'right' one, but I'm currently a fan of @[email protected]. My brain's not always the most reliable, and so my wiki becomes my 'external brain'. A lot of people are using things like Obsidian/Notion/etc in the same way.

I'm hosting syncthing on my server to sync obsidian notes between my pc and phone, even when one of the devices is offline. I find it very useful. Also, nextcloud, jellyfin, qbittorrent, monero node and netdata for monitoring my server

Also interested, after all the *arr apps I would say:
- EDIT: I forgot about PiHole !
- IRC bouncer - ZNC for example
- Minecraft (fabric with phosphor and sodium plugins for performance)
- Picoshare or Sharry (eikek/sharry on gh)
- Libreddit
Also a neat web tool for messing with data there is cyberchef.
Thanks to this post I realized there is really only one or two services I really use or need haha (ZNC and the other one is a web tool for a popular ttrpg ->pm).
All of this and more is inside docker containers so if you don't know that I would highly recommend it.
