Mumble - "a free, open source, low latency, high quality voice chat application" that I can manage the logs and certificates for. Kinda the only choice because Discord doesn't have an equivalent setup/mode.

Pi-Hole - DNS caching and adblocking for networked devices that I can't run a normal adblocker on. I also set it up to block Facebook where possible.

Minecraft (Java) - Because gotta have fun, right?

miniflux - RSS reader

Plex - Basically all TV's use this now on rokus in my house. With a few other roku Apps like Netflix or PBS. But Plex is 99% used

AtomicToolkit - arrr

Pi-hole - i guess..Most arent aware its inline though.

NGINX+LetsEncrypt box - reverse proxy for internet request and give them https (for things like plex). But again, transparent.

More recently Ive setup HomeAssistant to mostly consolidate the number of APPs. Ie: 1 app now controls both my central and window AC's.

Less "self hosted" but i did buy into an Opnsense AMD epyc SOC appliance. Dang thing is pretty awesome and a pretty big upgrade to the supermicro/Intel Celeron J1900 router opnsense router i was using.

When I got a new PC last year I tried to sell my old one but couldn't find any buyers for a reasonable price, so I just made it my "home server" (much better than the Pi I had running before).

It has a 1080Ti GPU so I'm just mining Ethereum on it (T-Rex miner) which pays for the electricity and actually makes 2-3 extra coffees a month :)

Of course, mining uses only the GPU (and a little bit of RAM) which leaves the CPU completely free to run a bunch of other services. I'm running an Ark Xbox server and Jellyfin on bare metal, with everything else in Docker (on a Windows 11 base install): AdGuard, OpenVpn client + socks5 proxy, Portainer, Watchtower, Speedtest, Grafana, Prometheus, Awair and Ecobee exporters, CloudFlare DDNS plus a couple of other this-and-thats :)

tt-rss. Web-based RSS reader with mobile client.

searx. Self-hosted meta-search engine.

Navidrome. Music streaming solution (paired with DSub).

Wallabag. Self-hosted Pocket. Scrapes and offlines content.

Paperless. Document management system. Paired with Genius Scan on my phone. Particularly handy at tax time.

Huginn. Self-hosted IFTTT-like solution.

Gotify. Mobile push notification infrastructure that is integrated with a ton of other stuff here.

deluged/deluge-web - Bittorrent client.

pi-hole. Nothing much to say here.

I also use syncthing all over the place (e.g. transferring scanned documents from my phone to Paperless), but I don't think of that as a self-hosted service per se.
