What can the 'average Joe' start hosting, that will change their life? - eviltoast

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!

    Nope. But wireguard works fine and is super easy. I’d recommend something like WG-easy running on the nas. That’s just one port to forward, with a reliable service behind it that does not advertise its presence. That is pretty safe.

      Do you have a good tutorial for setting up Wireguard? I was able to setup OpenVPN easily but haven’t been able to get Wireguard to let me access the internet while connected to it. Plus the Android app always says successfully connected even if the server is misconfigured.

        I’m using pivpn inside a Debian container in Proxmox instead of using a raspberry pi. You can pick either OpenVPN or WireGuard during install. Mine is running WireGuard with no issues. I feel it’s very easy to use.
