    Depends on the situation of course, but for us:

    • immich: family photos are important
    • docker + ssh: we enjoy hobbying with code, nerds be nerds
    • samba: a file sharing protocol that works on all of our things

      Yeaaah I hate to admit it… But Samba is the only crossplatform sharing protocol that works with every OS… I wish I could switch to NFS.

        That and ftp, but that protocol seems to be cared enough for to not be maintained. Weirdly enough, samba made it into the linux kernel recently

    The only one I haven’t seen mentioned here that is a requirement for me is OPNsense. I’ve been using it for a couple years, and pfSense before that for a very long time. Never going back to commercial routers and their shitty / buggy / backdoored software. I highly recommend OPNsense over pfSense for the UI improvements alone, but there are other reasons to use/support OPNsense over pfSense.

    On my network it handles internet firewall, internal firewall, and all routing across 5 VLANs and between two internet gateways. It does 1-1 NAT for my public IPs, inbound VPN, outbound VPN for my *arr stack, and RDNS blocklists with the data source being a script I wrote that merges from several sources and deduplicates the list. It is my internal certificate authority (I don’t miss you at all, Windows CA), DHCP for the guest wifi, and does pihole-like ad blocking via DNS for my entire network. And it does all that running in a VM with 2GB of RAM, of which it only uses about 60% on my install.

    It is an incredibly powerful tool, not terribly difficult to learn, has a pretty damn good UI for FOSS, and in my opinion is a fantastic foundation for a complex home network / homelab. Unlike pfSense, which corrupted itself twice over the years I ran it, it has never let me down. And every update has been painless over the years.

    In terms of most used for me, it would be:

    • Nextcloud: contains my contacts, calendar, and photos synced with my phone, as well as access to files on my server from any web browser.
    • Home assistant: both automated and remote control of your lights, thermostat, etc.
    • Audiobookshelf: only really useful if you have an audiobook collection
    • Vault Warden: self-hosted bitwarden. Not really all that important to self-host, since a bit warden’s clients are open source.
    • Frigate: only useful if you have security cameras.
    • Navidrome: only useful if you have a music collection.
    • Jellyfin: only useful if you have a movie / TV collection.

      Gonna also throw in: Nextcloud Memories.

      It makes the photo organizing part of NextCloud AMAZING. I’m so happy I got to dump Google Photos for good.
