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.

    This is what I’m currently hosting, might find something here that interests you.

    AudioBookshelf: Exactly as the name implies Navidrome: Music Streamer MeTube: YouTube/Video Site downloader ConvertX: Converts hundreds of files. Beszel: Dashboard to monitor hardware MediaVault: My own app I wrote to track my Movies, Music, Video Games, Books. AMP: Video game server management software. JellyFin: Movie/TV Streaming Software FileBrowser: Browser based file management software. Radarr: Find Movies, download them. Sonarr: Find TV Shows, download them. ARM: Automatic Ripping Machine, put in a DVD/BluRay, Rips, compresses, and moves to JellyFin. (Huge pain to get working though, for me at least.) Pihole: Network management and Ad Blocker. Octaprint: 3D Printer management.

    I have a bunch of other stuff too, like custom written scrips that show the info from Beszel on my Windows desktop via a Widget in RainMeter. Custom dashboard when I first login via SSH. My next thing to experiment with is setting up a custom website to use as a homepage dashboard for my browser, commonly used bookmarks, news feed, email alerts, weather, social media feeds, whatever else I can think of or get working.

    And for anyone curious what the hardware is:

    OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with xrdp Desktop Environment when Needed CPU: AMD 3700x RAM: 64GB Boot Drive: Samsung 990Evo 2TB m.2 Storage: 2x Seagate BarraCuda Pro 12TB HDD RAID 1 GPU: NVIDIA RTX 2060
