I’ve had a “home lab server” for a while now, it’s nothing special but I think I can do more with it, I just don’t know what to do with it… I currently use it just for a pihole and (sometimes) a Minecraft server or a web server… I used to also have a nexcloud and a searxng instance (which I will probably bring back)… Any ideas for other things I can run on it?

    That’s a really open-ended question. Depends purely upon your interests and appetite for risk, etc.

    Might be worth looking at, from a Docker perspective:

    • AdGuard Home (I think it’s better than Pi-Hole)
    • Wireguard or similar. Great for reaching your services when away from home.
    • Audiobookshelf. Audiobooks. There are good apps.
    • Calibre-Web. Ebooks.
    • RSS feed reader, for non-social media websites you visit. Plenty to choose from: FreshRSS, TT-RSS, Sismics, etc.
    • Gitlab CE. If you’re a developer or can otherwise make use of version control.
    • Gotify. Alerting on your containers. Has a good mobile app.
    • Heimdall. A dashboard for everything you’re running.
    • Komga. If you’re into manga. The best iOS app is meh, but the best Android app is awesome.
    • Mealie. Recipe database.
    • Paperless-ngx. Excellent for storing your PDFs and other digital life.
    • PhotoPrism. Basically Google Photos.
    • Portainer. Great for managing Docker containers/stacks.
    • qBitTorrent. Guess what that’s for.
    • SWAG with Authelia. SWAG does reverse proxying with a Let’s Encrypt certificate, and automatically renews it for you. Authelia provides MFA (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) on top of it.
    • Vikunja. Todoist or Toodledoo without having to pay for features.
    • Wallabag. Basically Pocket.
    • Watchtower. Automatically updates containers for you. Can exclude the ones you don’t want to update, etc.
    • Webtrees. Family tree research, if that’s your thing.
    • YouTransfer. Useful for sharing files without having to use Dropbox, etc.

    I have in the past run a Valheim server and a VRising server, too. FWIW.
