Today I set up my old laptop as a Debian server, hosting Immich (for photos), Nextcloud (for files), and Radicale (for calendar). It was surprisingly easy to do so after looking at the documentation and watching a couple videos online! Tomorrow I might try hosting something like Linkwarden or Karakeep.

What else should I self-host, aside from HA (I don’t have a smart home), Calibre (physical books are my jam), and Jellyfin (I don’t watch too many movies + don’t have a significant DVD/Blu-ray collection)?

I would like to keep my laptop confined to my local network since I don’t trust it to be secure enough against the internet.

edit: I forgot, I’m also hosting Tailscale so I can access my local network remotely!

can I ask what is the advantage of radicale over nextcloud calendar sync?

    I'm thinking about moving my Nextcloud calendars and addressbooks to Baikal. Why? Because I like one "tool for one thing" better than "one tool for everything".

    Small update: Today I moved to Baikal successfully.

    It's missing some features, I noticed.

    1. There are no shared addressbooks, so a shared user is needed. Addressbooks also cannot be read-only.
    2. There is no birthday calendar. There is a Python script for MySQL to run from cron. I ported it to PostgreSQL today.
