Today I set up my old laptop as a Debian server, hosting Immich (for photos), Nextcloud (for files), and Radicale (for calendar). It was surprisingly easy to do so after looking at the documentation and watching a couple videos online! Tomorrow I might try hosting something like Linkwarden or Karakeep.
What else should I self-host, aside from HA (I don’t have a smart home), Calibre (physical books are my jam), and Jellyfin (I don’t watch too many movies + don’t have a significant DVD/Blu-ray collection)?
I would like to keep my laptop confined to my local network since I don’t trust it to be secure enough against the internet.
edit: I forgot, I’m also hosting Tailscale so I can access my local network remotely!
What are the specs and how are you finding the performance?
It’s just an old laptop I had lying around. 8GB of ram, 256GB of storage, some old intel i5 processor (10th or 11th gen I think?). No performance hiccups, everything works well :D
I have another older laptop with a dead battery, 6th gen i3, 4GB of ram, and 128GB of storage that I haven’t touched yet, but might do so in the future.
