  Plex
  Audiobookshelf  - Kind of like plex, but for audiobooks
  n8n  -  automation tool
  Heimdall -  browser start page with shortcuts to all of these apps
  Nginx Proxy Manager - Reverse proxy and wildcard cert hosting.
  Bookstack - note taking app.
  Pihole - ad blocker and local DNS.
  YoutubeDL-material - archiving youtube videos.
  FileRun - gdrive replacement.
  iCloudPd - sync's pics and videos from iphone to local server
  Gitea  - git server
  Code-Server - webbased IDE/VS code in browser.
  Shiori - like pocket or wallaby or read-it-later bookmarking.

Seeing that this is turning into a comment section with answers to the question in the title of the article, instead of comments on TFA, here goes my list:

* Miniflux as an RSS reader

* Home Assistant for home automation stuff with various door/window/movement sensors, Hue management, workflows like bedtime and welcome home

* AdGuard for DNS adblocking

* An OpenVPN VPN for me to get into my home network, and another to a VPS in another country that my network gets routed over when connecting to geoblocked content ( ip sets are awesome)

* Not really self-hosted per se ( just local) and as a replacement for what some here self-host, Obsidian for note taking and wiki.

If we're going to be cheeky, it's almost certainly BIND (behind unbound and nsd, driven by blacklists fed by minemeld), followed by ISC DHCP and other plumbing running in the background like mrtg/sflow/pnp/netdisco. If we're going to just talk about user interactive self-hosting then it would be a toss-up between my private searx instance and kodi via diskless netbooted openelec. Roundcube, sandstorm and invidious get honourable mentions

I have a home server running Plex, but access is local only. I'd love to run some other applications as well, but I need to access these remotely. Anyone have a simple, straightforward and secure process for remote access to a home server?

Tailscale

WireGuard in Docker - then open a firewall port.

However to get it actually simple, Tailscale. It’s truely ludicrous. I had it running inside 10 mins, but only because I wasted 5 minutes trying to work out what to do next, when it was already running.

I REALLY want to start self-hosting but I can't afford a separate homeserver. I have a personal list of software to self-host and have looked into VPS providers like DO, Vultr, Linode & Hetzner. While they're cheap, should I really self-host on shared CPUs because that's all I can afford right now. My basic system would be Pi-Hole, Miniflux, Linkding. Maybe Bitwarden. What would be a good way to get started? Any sugg…

A Pi will run a lot. Next step up is an Intel Nuc. An old one is fine but the newer the better. The 11th gen is rather powerful, but even the 8th is pretty great.
