So, I am soon going to finally set up my first home server. Exams are not that far away, I am motivated as shit, my first own domain is bought and I want to level up my sysadmin skills.

Currently my plans look like this:

Host Jellyfin
Host my own NAS
Some form of hosted musicstreaming integration with my local music
Automate Backups and push them on my server
make all of the above things available where ever I want using my own self hosted domain.
run my own dns

In the long term I also want to be able to host my own webapps, since I will soon start to develop one for someone.

Now I want to know what suggestions do you have, for stuff thats really cool and that I can selfhost.

Edit: thanks for all the replies. Definitely going to look into this.

The comments give some great advice on what to self host, but my advice to you before you start spinning up a million services is to DOCUMENT EVERYTHING.

Seriously, document as you go and you will thank yourself later. Document niche commands you found online that worked, docker compose files, IP addresses/hostnames, where you put that random config file.

There are some great self hosted wiki and documentation products out there, start with that, then build the fun stuff!

Check those in to source control and it kind of takes care of that (except passwords/secrets or configs which have them).

Planned on doing that
