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!

    Your own nextcloud instance. Then move everything that is saved at Google over to your own server.

    Calenders, Filesync, Contacts sync with android works really nice.

    Knowing my data is stored only on my own devices and google doesn’t know more about me than I do is a nice feeling.

      I’ve tried this once or twice but always end up not using it because I don’t trust myself to keep a server up.

      Would you consider hosting your own Nextcloud through a provider like Hetzner a nice intermediary step?

        Just got to have a backup. I have children so for pictures anything Google is just not doable. Nextcloud on my home NAS, nightly backup to Amazon Glacier (super cheap to store because it’s expensive to retrieve) in case of a catastrophic failure (like fire). Every month or so backup the files to an external drive.

        Yes. Hetzner’s offering is reliable and not too expensive. You do trade off a lot of the privacy and flexibility though.
