Anyone else have it ? The more work I do setting things up like dockers, reverse proxies, single sign on, etc. the more I want to do it. But I’m running out of ideas of things to host that would actually benefit me. But I have that itch where I want more lol.
So far I have the following: (EDIT: added descriptions for those who aren’t familar with all of it. )
Caddy - use this primarily as a reverse proxy to access my applications via my domain and outside the house
Nextcloud - mainly using it for cloud storage but also some of their other apps likes decks and tasks as well as contacts and calendar.
Memos - simple note taking app similar to twitter but personal.
Miniflux - rss
Authentik - sso
Portainer - web view of dockers and status / health
KitchenOwl - groceries / recipe management
Actual - zero budgeting (like YNAB)
Firefly iii - finances management
Immich - images / iCloud replacement
Organizr (barely using it. Trying to think of more use cases) - dashboard of all my services
Speedtest - runs daily speed tests and monitors.
Plex - host my media library
Plex_Debrid / rclone - sync real Debrid with plex.
rsync to backup data to one onsite and one off site location. Automated backups
Watchtower automated docker updates
Home Assistant - home automation
Home bridge - Apple home automation
Zigbee2mqtt - manage zigbee smart home devices
Unifi controller - manage my network
I think that’s everything!
Edit: Thanks for the overwhelming responses! I really appreciate everyone with their opinions. First things first I did get borg setup for both my server and my desktop so thats awesome! I am waiting for response from my backup server admin if they can install rdiff-backup for me so I can utilize that as well for my cloud backups.
Going to take a look at a few other of the many suggestions here! More than a few I like!
I have been using memos too, but I am switching to silverbullet now. I was trying to take/read some notes on an airplane, and memos didn’t work offline. So that is the reason for switching. The developers said offline support is on the roadmap, and suggested using telegram integration for offline note taking until then.
I mainly use gitea for revision control of my docker compose file these days.
Ah, yes when I had iPhone I also didn’t use syncthing. But now I use Android and like syncthing better than Nextcloud. NC stopped working for me a few times, syncthing has been solid
Oh cool. I am using KitchenOwl and someone else on this post suggested a few recipe managers. I’ll definitely check out clementines (if I get it working haha)
For memos I never realized it doesn’t work offline. Thankfully it’s rare I am offline but that does worry me that when it does happen I won’t have access to my notes. I’ll definitely take a look at silver bullet!
Version control of docker compose files why the heck didn’t I think of that before lol. Would have helped me more than a few times. Going to get that setup as well.
Makes sense. I think I did use sync thing years ago when I was on android. Thankfully the only issues I’ve had with Nextcloud have been user error.

What is clementines? I use memos for my note taking and has a real nice iOS app.
Paperless-ngx sounds nice. I’m so bad with physical papers and storing them so that could be big for me.
I use Nextcloud for my file syncing.
Gitea sounds cool if I get back into coding.
clementines is a shopping list program. it sounded nice, but I couldn’t get the installation working https://davideshay.github.io/groceries/
