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!

For me it's 100% Nextcloud. It was a pain to get working at first (and I'm dreading the day it breaks, if that happens). But it is so much more than just a self-hosted Dropbox solution:

Maps
Calendar
Email
Markdown editor (I'm using this to try and replace Google Drive for collaborative document editing with my friends; most of what we need can be achieved with Markdown formatting)
I haven't tried it but there is a Talk plugin that allows for video conferencing in browser;
a bunch of other stuff I've never played with like mind maps, PDF conversion, music player, etc.

My experience has been that Nextcloud can do 1000 different things, and it sucks at all of them.

That's a little harsh but I definitely agree it doesn't tend to offer a better or equal alternative to any free options available. You're giving up a certain level of ease of use.

I tried setting up nextcloud. Just ended up creating a samba share instead.

Yes, Nextcloud. It's not perfect, but it has made my life easier for the last few years
