I've been hosting the Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr/Prowlarr stack, Plex, HomeAssistant and a Misskey server and a Matrix server for close friends. I had considered Bitwarden too, but at $10/year I'd rather just pay to have it hosted reliably, while I self-host things that don't outright make it hard for me to do stuff if they happen to go down.

#12Nextcloud (files, contacts, calendar, GPodder sync), Home Assistant (and Node Red for automations, Mosquitto MQTT server, ZWave JS), Joplin Server (notes sync), Plex, Vaultwarden, Miniflux (RSS server), Pihole, Syncthing, Linkding (minimal bookmarks with tags, description, etc), wireguard server, Valheim game server, ntfy (push notifications for server alerts and makes a nice websocket/SSE backend for some simple self-made tools), some privacy frontends (libreddit, invidious, nitter).
I have both MariaDB and Postgres databases running and Caddy as my reverse proxy.

#13A couple of things that come to mind:
- Mediawiki
- Apache Roller
- Apache HTTPD
- eJabberd
- SugarCRM
- Bugzilla
- Mosquitto
Those are the big ones we use that are self-hosted.

#14I've been hosting a fork of Tiny Tiny RSS[0] since 2005. Moving it between servers and Postgres instances has been easy and I like having the old data in perpetuity. [0] https://tt-rss.org/
How common is it for websites to have RSS feeds, anymore?
I don't think there is any website I care about checking regularly that does not have an rss/atom feed. All wordpress (and pretty much every other blog engine) sites do, subreddits do, https://hnrss.github.io/ for hacker news...
That said, I personally only use rss for slow-updating sites (pretty much just for personal weblogs and the news/announcements for some projects).

#15The not-so-avg ones: Vikunja, Kavita, Audiobookshelf, Immich, Webtrees, Duplicati.
Been using vikunja recently too, it’s great!

#16I just run pi-hole and Tailscale for now. Tailscale modifies the DNS config on every device, and lets you specify the pi-hole server as the primary DNS server on the tailscale.com admin console. Much more convenient than figuring out DNS config for the 4 different OS's I use.
I switched to BitWarden a few weeks ago from LastPass. I want to self host VaultWarden which is an API compatible rewrite. I chose VaultWarden due to smaller memory footprint (its written in Rust) and it includes some paid BitWarden features for free.
Using Tailscale, it'll be awesome to test my site on my phone using https://macbook:8080. It was also fun to run `ping iphone` on my server and it works, but only when the phone isn't locked.

It is probably less than years ago, but its still a thing. In fact i heard youtube and other big sites (e.g. Reddit, etc.) still have rss feeds. Someone also told me that there is a bit of an uptick....buit this kind of thing is likely difficult to concretely quantify. As a single data point, I'm a fan of sites with RSS feeds...so i will frequent these sites more, and would be williung to pay for sites to have such a feature!

Does Joppin has a server? Or do you simply have a place for the mark down files? That's what I do.

Definitely interested in Immich. Google Photos is one of the few Google services I haven't ditched yet.

#20Home Assistant, Plex, Freeswitch, backups with borg and rsync, various blockchain nodes, IPFS, Whisper ASR via API, Stable Diffusion with web interface, Gitlab, Appsmith, tons of storage via minio and probably a bunch of other things I’m forgetting.
I use close to 500 GB of RAM all in.
