hi there, comrades! just curious, what do you all actually host for yourselves?

i currently run a two old PCs refurbished as Ubuntu servers and am looking at adding a Raspberry Pi 400 that i was gifted and don't know what to do with. i have ideas though!

anyway, i'd love to hear what you've found useful, helpful, and/or fun to run. my own answer will be in the comments.

I actually use a real owned server, and host all kinds of my own stuff, along with

Matrix (synapse + element web)

Nextcloud

Etherpad lite

Gitea (have yet to switch to Forgejo)

And gaming servers. AssaultCube was very successful, as it has incredibly low pings, it was full multiple times, and it was incredible fun.

Could you point me to the documentation you used to get etherpad lite going? I’ve had a hell of a time getting etherpad running and usable on my server.

I just do the straight up git clone && run.sh inside a systemd unit.
