I’m already hosting pihole, but i know there’s so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!
Edit: Thanks all! I’ve got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!
We recently set up a magic mirror (showing public transport connections/time/calendar/weather information) on a raspberry pi 3b. But it involved some more fiddling with electronics and software.
(Maybe an alternative would also be possible using small oled (128x64 pixel) screens)
Would be my suggestion if you are up for a challenge =)
We also used to host our own nextcloud, but decided to move it to hetzner as the pricing was unbeatable…
Else a pihole would also have been my suggestion. Maybe a Kodi mediacenter is also worth looking into.
What software did you use for the magic mirror?
It is open source if you are interested : https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror
In the end it is a scaffold on which you can install plugins which you like. The plugin community already provided many handy. Still it can be a challenge if you are not very “techy”. Wish you the very best! You can do it :)
