Hardware: Synology NAS (DS420+)
Software:
- Synology DSM – Was actually quite impressed by Synology's software. It is a tad quirky but can usually be worked around but all in all pretty good. (https://www.synology.com/en-us/dsm)
- Plex: not in love, but it gets the job done, definitely gonna use this thread to look in to replacements (https://www.plex.tv/)
- Syncthing: i love my magic folders that just sync stuff, amazing software (https://syncthing.net/)
- Docker: most things are hosted out of Docker (https://www.docker.com/)
- cloudflared: effortless external access for all my stuff + all other Cloudflare goodies (WAF/Zero-Trust). Good piece of mind to not have to ever open ports on my local network and let CF just take the brunt of the Internet. Also used as a local PlaintextDNS=>DoH proxy that is hooked up to NextDNS (https://www.cloudflare.com/products/tunnel/) [disclaimer: I work for the big orange cloud company, so sorry if the previous sounds like an ad, I do really like the software we make].
- FreshRSS: quite silly to do a cloud version of this when it is quite easy to host on your own. It works good, but I feel a strong itch to write my own version. (https://www.freshrss.org/)
- Metrics: prometheus node exporter. I do have grafana hosted in the cloud, but I've been meaning to move that to my local server.
The list will definitely grow after reading this thread :D
