linx-server

ddies go away. 4. peer-calls (https://github.com/peer-calls/peer-calls/) to be able to video call with my family and friends (with a small STUN server running locally for NAT traversal as I recall). 5. linx (https://github.com/andreimarcu/linx-server) to share single links to files (you can get an Android app to upload from your phone) 6. filebrowser for sharing blocks of files for users (https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser). 7. pihole runs on it so blocks adverts. 8. Wireguard runs on the Pi and I open the VPN ports on my router. I use the VPN on my phone so adverts are blocked when I am out and about (traffic gets routed through the Pi). 9. navidrome runs on it and I use subtracks on Android to stream (or just download albums for when I have spotty connection). 10. mpd runs on the Pi and it plays music to some speakers in the house, so I can control it with M.A.L.P on Android. 11. I use goaccess (https://goaccess.io) to look at my server logs and see what is hitting me. 12. I use maxmind geoip data so I know which countries are hitting me. 13. minidlna runs on the Pi so I can stream films to my TV. 14. I run CUPs on it too so that my rubbish wireless Samsung printer can be printed to from Android and my wife's Apple devices without having to buy an AirPlay-compatible printer. 15. xrdp running so I can log into a visual desktop on the Pi if required. My router doesn't expose SSH ports, just appropriate ports for these web services and the VPN. SSH keys are useful. SSH is not open to the world anyway and you have to VPN into the network first. This all sits happily and quietly in a cupboard and uses a feeble amount of power.

e. I use DroidHole on my phone to see what's going on. 7. xrdp server running, so a usable desktop is always available. 8. miniDLNA running connected to a NAS box so that I can watch all my DVDs easily on my TV downstairs (I spent weeks ripping them). 9. Tuya IoT API for turning some smart plugs in the house on/off via cronjob; I do this instead of using the timer in their app because it means my phone can be off the network/abroad and these plugs/lights still turn on/off. 10. linx-server (https://github.com/andreimarcu/linx-server) for sharing files so that I don't have to use Google Drive and share with people that way. 11. Peer Calls (https://github.com/peer-calls/peer-calls) so I can video conference in decent quality without having to use Google Meet / Teams etc. I also host a STUN and TURN server on the Pi so that Peer Calls works behind NAT. 12. Runs CUPS so that my very cheap Samsung wireless laser printer actually shows up as an AirPrint printer for my wife's iPad/iPhone and shows up in Android printing. (The printer does not natively have AirPrint capability but CUPS means I can provide it to users on the network). It fetches time over NTP on a cron job. It also blocks various ASNs and IPs by country on a cron job to stop annoying remote pests and cloud providers. It also runs Monitorix so I can see system load, and goaccess on a cron job so that I can see who's hitting my website without having to resort to analytics nonsense. It boots from USB3 (it has a NVMe in an IcyBox caddy). Incredibly useful device.
