Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

What else should I selfhost? (feddit.org)

So, I am soon going to finally set up my first home server. Exams are not that far away, I am motivated as shit, my first own domain is bought and I want to level up my sysadmin skills.

Currently my plans look like this:

Host Jellyfin
Host my own NAS
Some form of hosted musicstreaming integration with my local music
Automate Backups and push them on my server
make all of the above things available where ever I want using my own self hosted domain.
run my own dns

In the long term I also want to be able to host my own webapps, since I will soon start to develop one for someone.

Now I want to know what suggestions do you have, for stuff thats really cool and that I can selfhost.

Edit: thanks for all the replies. Definitely going to look into this.

Syncthing so you never have to mail files to yourself again.

FreshRSS for RSS reading

Readeck for saving articles for later (or wallabag, many alternatives)

HomeAssistant

Calibre-web for ebooks

PiHole

Joplin for self hosted notes

Searxng is fun for self hosted metasearch but has sadly been having trouble with Google lately

I wish you didn't have to do things the Calibre way to host ebooks, but whatever effort it takes to sort out ebook hosting must be a pain in the ass, because everything is built on top of Calibre despite Calibre being perhaps the most obtuse piece of "programmer-knows-better" software ever engineered.

Almost every other ebook self-hosted app is just a wrapper on top of that nonsense. I hate it.

You can try to use Komga instead, but it's mostly meant for comic books and it's kinda heavy, honestly.

Have you tried out https://booklore.org/ ?

It seems different enough from calibre and kavita et al.

I love Booklore. Infinitely better than Calibre hands down. I haven’t setup Kobo access yet, but that is just going to push it over the edge for me.
