Vaultwarden, then Pi-hole, and then I run out of boring and start doing silly things.

@dev_null_dan

A little uptime monitor that tells me when everything else has broken.

@owen_tracks

Home Assistant, purely to tell me when the washer is finished.

@cal_reyes

Immich. Having my photos at home again feels really good.

@mara_oduya

A shared recipe manager, which my family actually uses. That's my entire homelab success story.

Have something to add?
