  • I have a slightly different setup personally! I am actually happily running a Windows Pro server.

    For my Drivepool redundant storage, I am utilizing a cool tool I came across years ago called https://stablebit.com/DrivePool and I’ve been really happy with it!

    I RDP into my server a lot for coding projects, and misc things, almost like a secondary computer. Additionally, I enjoy being able to Steam stream several games from it to my phone or laptop on the go. A surprising number of games are playable in this fashion.

    Outside of that, I do selfhost multiple serices:

    • Plex, I actually heavily use it as a self-hosted Youtube alternative by leveraging yt-dlp and some personal tooling I wrote that collates downloaded youtube channels into Collections within my Plex (No ads!) – Shameless plug tomy tool - https://github.com/KJBurnett/plex-youtube-channel-collections
    • Rocket.Chat for chatting with my close friends
    • code-server - a self-hosted vscode environment. You can literally code on an iPad with the capability and power of a Ryzen 7 behind it. Very cool and fun.
    • gitlab (although it seems fairly heavy for my needs, unsure.)
    • Overseerr - Movie/tv show requesting web app tied into my Plex
    • airsonic - Plex also does music but sometimes it seems to be pretty resource heavy. I run Plex with Plexamp simultaneously with airsonic for the service redundancy currently.
