I'm already hosting pihole, but i know there's so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I've got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

For me it's 100% Nextcloud. It was a pain to get working at first (and I'm dreading the day it breaks, if that happens). But it is so much more than just a self-hosted Dropbox solution:

Maps
Calendar
Email
Markdown editor (I'm using this to try and replace Google Drive for collaborative document editing with my friends; most of what we need can be achieved with Markdown formatting)
I haven't tried it but there is a Talk plugin that allows for video conferencing in browser;
a bunch of other stuff I've never played with like mind maps, PDF conversion, music player, etc.

I had a lot of trouble setting up nextcloud in the past but if you go with the Docker method, it's really easy.
