Been thinking about adding NextCloud mostly for the Google Docs/MS Office replacement at some point.
But honestly most of my stuff is just for me, my family prefers to to use whatever commercial thing is out there. So I tend to limit things to infrastructure type things that are of personal interest to me alone.

Vpn, nas, home assistant, dns, reverse proxy, adblocker, specialty controller units, misc project vms/containers.
Forgejo Jellyfin Navidrome PiHole AudioBookshelf Manyfold FoundryVTT sometimes
All these. I just added calibre web and may phase out Kavita.
Are books not media?
I was thinking through my list, and almost mentioned Calibre Web, but decided it's media related.

What interface is that, it looks great!
That's TrueNas. It can run docker compose files so I'm abusing the crap out of what it's supposed to do haha.

SearXNG, Forgejo, Linkwarden, Vaultwarden, copyparty, all the Servarr apps, qBittorrent and SABnzbd for downloads, Syncthing, Mastodon, and all the various containers like databases and other tools that support the aforementioned.
vaultwarden, ntfy
Depends on what you consider self-hosted. Web applications I use over LAN include Home Assistant, NextRSS, Syncthing, cockpit-machines (VM host), and media stuff (Jellyfin, Kavita, etc). Without web UI, I also run servers for NFS, SMB, and Joplin sync. Nothing but a Wireguard VPN is public-facing; I generally only use it for SSH and file transfer but can access anything else through it.
I've had NextCloud running for a year or two but honestly don't see much point and will probably uninstall it.
I've been planning to someday also try out Immich (photo sync), Radicale (calendar), ntfy.sh, paperless-ngx, ArchiveBox (web archive), Tube Archivist (YouTube archive), and Frigate NVR.

Joplin. I have it as a sync server. But have it tucked away in a cloud server for the times when I'm traveling so j always have a way to access data in case my phone gets stolen/confiscated.
