Do you guys have your own servers and what do you do with them? Favorite apps/services?

I have an Ivy Bridge Optiplex running a Minecraft server for friends and an HTTP server for sharing big files with others. It runs Debian, and uses Spigot for Minecraft and Apache2 for HTTP hosting. I use SSH to manage it headlessly. Every night it's setup to make a backup of the Minecraft server from the 240GB SSD to the 1TB HDD. Occasionally I copy the most recent backups on the 1TB HDD to my main computer. Sometimes I use the server for big downloads, ffmpeg renders, and anything else I don't wanna tie up my main computer with. "screen" is a very useful program for starting a command and then being able to exit the SSH session.

I have my Old PC running as a Server. It currently runs Debian 12 with Docker installed, via which I run all my Services.

My most used and Favorite Services are:

• Vaultwarden (A Bitwarden server for lightweight systems)
• Nextcloud (A Google Workspace/Drive and OneDrive replacement)
• Jellyfin (A Plex Similar Media Server for Storing and Watch Movies, Shows and Music)

Also a system I use is the ZFS filesystem for Data Security and Redundency

My server Farnsworth just runs Jellyfin. The family uses it to stream our old DVD collection, because we don't have DVD players anymore. The OS is GNU Guix System and you can find the server config on Codeberg.

-ie: With a Thunderbird extension on my desktop any link I click on will launch in VM with a custom image of Brave on my proxmox server. So even if I accidentally click on a link I need not go into panic mode.
