  I repurpose old PCs, not the most power efficient, or convenient form factor, but I can put a ton of drives in without a second thought, and the hardware is free to me.

  I used Freenas for a while til I wanted more flexibility, then Proxmox for a long time with everything on separate VMs, but as my services became set I eventually swapped everything onto a plain Debian install.

  I use Syncthing instead of a real cloud sharing option. I’m home every night, and it can grab different folders easily, and ‘sorts’ stuff for me.

  I like Docker containers for nearly everything else. I particularly like the Wireguard-easy container project on github, and that’s currently the only hole in my firewall.

  My kids like having navidrome for music, I like Jellyfin myself. And I tend to get carried away since I’ve got a whole PCs hardware to play with so I spin containers up and down just to play sometimes. I’ve had Orcaslicer in one before, accessible to the network, lol.
