I am setting up my NAS right now, and I need some suggestions for apps that I can run on my NAS or self-host.

  • I have seen some online articles, but they are too confusing because they list too many apps for each category.

  • I want backup apps for iOS, Android, Mac and Windows. (It would be great if they could back up automatically).

  • I want to sync my calendars and contacts.

  • I want to download media like TV shows and movies. (And music, too). “Of course, only legal obtained from the internet cough.”

  • I want apps that let me access my data from anywhere.

  • I saw this cool thing where you could use a Raspberry Pi to access your NAS bios from your PC.

    Among my must-have selfhosting items, in no particular order, I can recommend:

    • Portainer, to keep track of what’s going on.
    • Nginx Proxy Manager, to ensure https with valid certificate to those services I want to have available from the outside.
    • Pihole, of course.
    • Gitea, to store my coding stuff.
    • Paperless-ngx, to store every paper in my life.
    • Immich, an amazingly good replacement for Google Photos.

      You should try PhotoPrism, it’s amazing. All great picks BTW. Gittea had GH Actions compatible runners now!

      100% agree on you list. I’d also throw in some file management solution, such as filebrowser, NFS/samba or syncthing.

        Sorry but that’s not true. I have been running Immich for a long time now, and it is solid and stable.

        A recent update had a change in the Docker configuration, and if you didn’t know that and just blindly upgraded, it would still run and show a helpful explanation. That’s amazing service.

          What is a long time? I’ve been running it more than a year, and the number of times it broke and the amount of time I had to invest into its quite high. You may be lucky, or I may be unlucky, but I’m just explaining my experience
