I'm already hosting pihole, but i know there's so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I've got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

Joplin.

You don't strictly have to self host it but it's gotten pretty good with a WYSIWYG editor now and everything.

Plex with the ARR apps have changed my life and save me and my family about 1k per year.

@jaackf
SyncThing. It's the best sort of selfhosted program. You set it up once and then never think about it because it just keeps quietly doing what you wanted.

Wikis can be great if you've got a few folks that need to coordinate information.

An RSS reader/aggregator.

For someone completely new to self-hosting things, what is a good entry hardware setup look like? Or am I just keeping my daily PC on all the time?

Does a pihole setup not slow down your connectivity? Been looking into it but I'm very much a novice with my raspberry pi. I do want to use it for something cool other than just sitting around.

And my question is only deepened by the fact that I have a synology box as well. I could use pihole on that instead of my raspberry pi, right?
