1
Pi-hole
2
Home Assistant
runs on a pi 4 with an ssd, not the sd card, learn from my mistake. actually stuck, definitly unlike most of these
3
Gitea
self hosted git, lighter than gitlab by a mile. good enough for private repos and issues
4
Uptime Kuma
5
WireGuard VPN
6
Samba file share
7
OctoPrint
runs my 3d printer headless. the webcam plugin makes it worth it, watch prints fail from the couch
8
PiKVM
nobody mentions this one tbh. kvm-over-ip for another box, so if I nuke a bootloader at 1am I still see the screen. ymmv on the hdmi dongle
9
Glances
10
RetroPie
the one project that's actually just for fun, no productivity angle. just mario kart on the tv
11
Magic Mirror
