I have a salvaged desktop in a closet which I use for:
Since I have ports exposed (I know), I have it configured for no root login, some default ports are set to non default ports, and I have fail2ban installed.
I'm pretty proud of my setup and it's made my life and work flow pretty awesome and simplified, especially with the WFH/hybrid stuff.
I want to try nextcloud so I can consolidate my calendar(s?), and get rid of trello as a service, in addition to serving my NAS files. But i want to test drive it first and I dont have a system to do that properly at the moment.
An alternative to Pihole is Adguard and so far the latter has been a lot better for me personally.
Also, you don't need a crazy router to get started. Mine is a crappy $100 router. Most will have port forwarding if you need to expose ports, or ddns if you want a domain name. There are some things you'd want a slightly more powerful router for (like maybe a media server serving most of your house). But you can always upgrade your router.
I host Nextcloud and it is huge life saving tool. I use it for backuping photos, hosting calendars, tasks, contacts and RSS. I use Nextcloud Deck as Trello replacement. Nextcloud can also replace Google Docs.
I originally thought it was overkill for me, who just needed to access files, until I read about deck, calendar, and chat. Now I'm ultra sold. I'm tired of slack, trello, email, calendar all being in different places.
