For me it's gotta be Portainer, Vaultwarden, and Tailscale. Everything else (FreshRSS, Heimdall, Paperless) is just cream.

A bunch of random thought... If anyone has any brief tips...
I'm going to dive into borgmatic soon.
Is it possible to back up PCs on the same network?
I think I'm looking to do 2 things... Have my main PC synced to a backup drive. Nightly? So I can DD to a new drive if I mess some up on my PC. I'd like to be able to do this with my omv server too.
The other is just backing up nas storage and docker.
Borg seemed like a good option for some of that but I'm not sure about the usable syncing of a full system.
Also wireguard... Right now I use a VPN subscription and run apps through gluetun... Instead of using my vpns meshnet I use tailscale for outside the home access. So I guess my question is, could I set up wireguard and use that instead of tailscale? My main reason is to find a way other family could utilize the nas and gluetun VPN connection.
There's so much planning that goes into this stuff. Finding the right apps and then the workflow... 🥴
In the end I want to host cloud storage and photo sharing for family, as well as maybe let them stream my media. Have the cloud storage, and my personal storage backed up. And possible let family utilize my subscription VPN if possible.
Borg is great for backups.
To recover a running system you would normally use snapshots but backups. You want something like Timeshift, which integrates with the boot system and lets you boot into a previous snapshot if you mess up your install. You can also use a specialized filesystem like btrfs which has a built-in, more efficient method of doing snapshots.
MythTV for the AV ... Volumio too, but, not upgrading that to v3.
Not seen radicale mentioned here...
I was an early adopter of OwnCloud and then switched to Nextcloud and, well, just gave up with it... no-one edits documents on it, we don't look at photos on it, but we did use a shared calendar... so I ditched that, installed radicale and been much happier (ie less admin time, more life time)
Also running syncthing from our phones to a home built NAS and a tablet in the kitchen as the NextCloud photo upload was (still is?) broken.
I run Arch btw
Home Assistant of course... MotionEye in a Pi Zero...
And it's all behind a pfSense box with DNS and GeoIP blockers installed.
Oh, and EmonCMS for my SolarPV.
+1 mythtv. It distributes OTA TV to kodi all over the house.
I run Radicale, got all my calendars, contacts, tasks/reminders and even notes on it. It's a great CalDAV & CardDAV server. Lightweight too, and backup is super simple since each thing is a plain text file. Been using it with DAVx5 on the phone and it works perfectly.
By Darwin I had not heard of wg-easy before. That is indeed easier than my setup. Thank you.
