I’ve had a “home lab server” for a while now, it’s nothing special but I think I can do more with it, I just don’t know what to do with it… I currently use it just for a pihole and (sometimes) a Minecraft server or a web server… I used to also have a nexcloud and a searxng instance (which I will probably bring back)… Any ideas for other things I can run on it?

    There are only a few services I host that are publicly accesible, and I put those on a 12 dollar per year virmach vps. One of those is vaultwarden. Some others are gotify, wallabag, hauk, and remotely. I don’t think it’s a problem to run vaultwarden on your lan only because it will sync changes when you connect and resolve any conflicts. I have it accessible from the internet to encourage friends and family to use a password manager with as few hurdles as possible. I’ve found it to be easy to administrate and secure. In fact, I just moved it from my cancelled dedipath vps to my virmach vps yesterday with zero issues and about 5 minutes of downtime.

      yeah, I thought about that option however I would like to have my hardware of the server accessible. until I am not upgrading power consumption wise it does not make sense for me to buy a vps.

      (neglecting the point about data owning etc)
