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 haven’t got deep into using both yet but from what I’ve seen so far they are very different.
Actual is basically YNAB so if you’ve used that before you’ll be familiar with it. I am a current subscriber to YNAB and considering fully switching over to Actual.
Firefly iii is like an accounting program to manage all your finances and less about budget categories and giving every dollar a job. I personally don’t see my self using this much.
I am using KitchenOwl right now for recipe management. I haven’t gotten deep into it yet and I am intrigued to try something different. There was another one I was looking at that hadn’t been updated in a while so I just settled on KitchenOwl I’ll check those others out ! Which one is your preference?

Are firefly and actual different enough to justify running both? I’m looking into them myself.
As for suggestions on other things to host, maybe a recipe manager like Mealie, Tandoor or nextcloud cookbook?
