Which apps & solutions do you host yourself?
Cheers,
I am curious:
Which services/apps/solutions do you host yourself, instead of using external service providers?
I guess most of us know this list:
https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted
Which of the solutions on the list can you recommend or do you have something to add that the list is not carrying?
Looking forward to your inspirational posts and self-hosted solutions!

I did not know about that list, thanks, will enjoy going through it and reporting back.

Have used nzbhydra2 , sonarr, and sabnzbd/nzbget, work well for that thing we don't talk about.
Brace yourself.
This is what currently runs on my homeserver:
I am currently using Pihole to route the services directly to my home IP while on VPN / at home. Else most of the incoming traffic is routed through a small VPS in Luxembourg (HAProxy). Some traffic is strictly going through Romania
I have a few more things running on a few small VPS’s (some of which are to be moved to my homeserver, just CBA):
And then there’s smokeping and PHP Server Monitor to deal with network monitoring and a few VPN servers to keep my traffic safe while abroad / on public WiFi. And a good handful of scrapers and other scripts I wrote myself that I don't even recall but do their job just fine.
Currently using or already used:

The awesome-selfhosted list is pretty awesome.
For my real-life work, I have deployed a self-hosted academic conference application for my university department: Pretalx. Anyone who is thinking of hosting a conference can consider this. Very comprehensive set of features. I recommend it.
Anyone who is on a budget (using their hosting service is pretty expensive unless you have a serious budget) can consider self-installing this on a whitelisted provider box and it will run like a champ. It has been used by big conferences and scales well. Active development for the foreseeable future as they have developed a good business model to ensure steady income stream.

To be frank, I found most of the apps on the list unfamiliar, and that made me think that, Wow, here it is a huge new world!
Ok, then, among the blogging platform there is Hexo, which has been my current blog system, but it looks they missed Hugo?
Amazing list @solaire.
I only realized that you had included extensive hyperlinks when I tried to select some project names (to copy and search in a New tab).
I bet someone has already reported this stylesheet issue, for links in the Dark theme.
THANK YOU for all the great work so far on the dark theme.
My list is pretty short. I try to store lots of data on a synced flat-file folder hierarchy.

I guess nothing besides the usual, but always happy to play around with new projects:
Any good self hosted small business accounting solution? (Besides invoicing, which is what I judged from the names of those packages)
The all seeing eye sees everything...
Here's my current list:
FireFly III - Awesome budgeting web app.
WordPress - Nuff said.
Grav - Decent little flat-file CMS. Use it mostly for docs purposes.
code-server - Use it as a quick and easy way to create various test pages.
FileRun - NextCloud alternative with a Google-like appearance. Works really well.
Strapi - Use it for creating totally unnecessary API's for various purposes. Mostly for trolling friends and pushing out stupid data.
DOS = HIGH?!?
I knew it was on something!
Take a look at Akaunting:

Off the top of my head,
Unfortunately, a lot of that is on an OVZ6 VPS that expires at the end of the month, so I need to BF myself something decent with a bit of storage.
Finally stopped running Sendmail, Mailscanner, Spamassassin, etc a couple of years back.
Akaunting is pretty nice. But if you outgrow Excel it's probably best to just pay for an online service. Tax rules are different for every country and an accounting tool is well worth the money if it applies the local rules properly.

something more I'm missing
I considered to test some federated sharing ecosystem but I'm not a huge music/movie consumer
Taxes and accounting for exceptional free-lance invoices are dealt with using a third-party cloud service, it's almost compulsory where I live
firefly-iii is neat, I have to re-consider to add it (I keep forgetting about this)
the problem with these threads is that you're incited to install more idling apps on even more idling servers
Gitlab, for the Dev stuff
Proxmox for Virtualization
Nextcloud for some files
Ansible for automation
Night-Sky for external monitoring
Cryptic-Sky for internal monitoring
Free NAT KVM | Free NAT LXC
Not a lot atm.
Plex (on Raspberry Pi)
OpenVPN Server
Ympker's Shared/Reseller Hosting Comparison Chart, Ympker's VPN LTD Comparison, Uptime.is, Ympker's GitHub.
Still have a server at home (though most of my gear I've moved to my companies DC's) which runs:
Plex
Sonarr
Transmission
Gitlab (for personal projects)
Hashicorp Vault server (for storing personal passwords/secrets)
https://freerangecloud.com - VPS, shared hosting, LIR services & more!
Home "server" (aka my old laptop) has a docker setup file server
Tinkerboard with home assistant. Raspberry pi 4 acting as fibre router. Raspberry pi 3 for 2.4ghz wifi AP.
2nd Raspberry 4 acts as dev board - gets nuked regularly to test whatever catches my attention
If you have idle capacity (like my file server) and can afford the marginal increase in elec bills please consider supporting BOINC.
What are you hosting this on? Tried recently & it seemed very fussy on requirements
Nextcloud
Pihole

Action and Reaction in history
Practically everything I host is running through Docker containers, so I don't bloat the host system as much with a bunch of weird dependencies.
A lot of these have already been mentioned, but whatever.
On most of my servers
Media server
Other
Website: thomassen.sh
Discord: Decicus#0001
And that's it for now.
I'll just mention the ones that haven't already been posted.
All of these and more get paired with traefik for some automated Let's Encrypt goodness.
It's pronounced hacker.
