What else should I self-host? (sopuli.xyz)

Today I set up my old laptop as a Debian server, hosting Immich (for photos), Nextcloud (for files), and Radicale (for calendar). It was surprisingly easy to do so after looking at the documentation and watching a couple videos online! Tomorrow I might try hosting something like Linkwarden or Karakeep.

What else should I self-host, aside from HA (I don’t have a smart home), Calibre (physical books are my jam), and Jellyfin (I don’t watch too many movies + don’t have a significant DVD/Blu-ray collection)?

I would like to keep my laptop confined to my local network since I don’t trust it to be secure enough against the internet.

edit: I forgot, I’m also hosting Tailscale so I can access my local network remotely!

I'm no expert, but I read that self hosting your own instance doesn't actually help with privacy since the search providers still track those requests and if you're the only one using it, that's just tracking you with extra steps.

Of course if you use a public instance, you have to then trust that the instance isn't tracking you

While true, they still collect data on the results hosting your own instance can prevent you from hitting rate-limits as often.

Unless you are routing traffic through a VPN.

I just recently started routing mine through a gluetun container, but now I'm hitting timeouts pretty consistently. Not sure if there's a solution to that or just deal with it.

For which self-hosted app? Invidious?

Gotta be better than being tracked everywhere... and of course I personally use a vpn (and encrypted traffic to the server)
