What else should I self-host? (sopuli.xyz)

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!

Should I get Gitea or Forgejo? Forgejo seems to be a more free/libre fork of Gitea, the latter of which is influenced by a for-profit company. Is Forgejo functionally equivalent to Gitea, and if not, what are the differences? If they are basically the same I would probably go with Forgejo over Gitea. Is Forgejo's documentation and setup similar, better, or worse than Gitea?

    I haven’t looked much into the differences, but from my brief research, it appears that Forgejo has just recently updated such that migration from Gitea is no longer possible. I knew that they had become a “hard” fork last year but it has now diverged.

    From a feature standpoint, I know that Forgejo is working on Fediverse integration. Beyond that, I think the differences are less apparent.

    So to answer your question, I use Gitea and have for a long time. They’ll still remain MIT-licensed even if it’s no longer fully open source. However, the owning company can (and may) cease open source development. If I had known of Forgejo breaking away earlier, or if I were a new user, I would have probably started with Forgejo. That’s my recommendation.

    To my knowledge, there is 1 feature that forgejo has that gitea doesn't: it can generate a new ssh key for you at the click of a button that can be used to push repo changes to another git forge.

    I have several personal repos on my forgejo instance that are each setup so that they mirror themselves onto my Codeberg account at noon every day.

    I also have a gitea instance on a raspi on my local network that itself will push out changes on certain repos to the (public-facing) forgejo instance.

    I can push and/or pull to any of the three origins as needed, but usually I just push to the gitea when I'm at home and the forgejo when I'm not, and let the mirroring take care of propagating changes to Codeberg.

    Forgejo is a fork from gitea that is made for us. Forgejo is the new gitea.

    There was some licensing or something, some kind of disagreement I don't recall. Forgejo is the one that is still free and open source.
