I run so many things. Most of the *arr ecosystem. Vaultwarden, all my bitcoin crap, audibookshelf / jellyfin / jellyseer. My own dns, a recipie vault, immich for photos, a caldav server, syncthing, web server amd a vpn for some external access.....and a few more tools that im sure im forgetting about at this moment.
My home server does lots of things people here have already mentioned that they do. So what might be unique to me, I run about 4 streaming radio stations, personal to me and my LAN. One is a long-off-the-air local gospel station that used to play some really weird shit. So much of it was singers who were way out of tune. I’m really glad I recorded a month of it before it disappeared. One is a 12 GB collection of techno and other electronic music my friend M gave me. I call it “M Radio.” It took about 10 years of listening to really get to know the collection, but having it as a streaming radio station really helped. One is an archive of about 15 years of the “Mysterious Universe” podcast, playing in a loop. Whenever I want to hear some good storytelling, I tune in. The fourth is a live stream of my local campus radio station, with a secret radio receiver in the city that sends the stream back to my location where the FM signal isn’t so strong. I stream it at a very high fidelity. I have a Squeezebox Boom in my kitchen with preset buttons on it that can call up any one of these “stations” at will. I love it!
I have a PC in a small rack in the closet. The main use is media server (Jellyfin) and then the automated pirate software suite (sonarr, radar, usenet downloader etc). Next use is self hosted photo backup from phones via Immich. Then a bunch of other stuff, music, recipes etc. it’s a small hobby to get running and change/update as you go.
