    After looking at other’s lists I think I am missing a good document server. Emby isn’t the best music and photo server so I could look at improving that, but it has been good enough for those purposes that I haven’t felt like going to the trouble of installing anything else.

    Immich for photos (the only proper Google photos alternative) Nextcloud for storing documents and photos (read by immich). Jellyfin to replace Plex.

    I can’t live without my Nextcloud + Email server. Having all my personal files, contacts, email, calendar, and other personal information immediately accessible synced and backed up with a single app on any device or platform I want to use, is a dream come true, and I get to do it without any Big Tech, avoiding their lock-in and privacy invasion and without any fees or limits beyond my own hardware.

    OpenVPN is how I can access it from anywhere in the world, so that gets an honorable mention too.

      Not all of us are so lucky. I was hospitalized for 3 weeks until I was able to get my PiHole back up. I was nearly a goner.
