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!

Indeed, well:

SearxNG is a meta search engine, can aggregate search results from a ton of other search engines (like DDG, Google, Bing, .... and a lot more)
