What else should I selfhost? (feddit.org)

So, I am soon going to finally set up my first home server. Exams are not that far away, I am motivated as shit, my first own domain is bought and I want to level up my sysadmin skills.

Currently my plans look like this:

Host Jellyfin
Host my own NAS
Some form of hosted musicstreaming integration with my local music
Automate Backups and push them on my server
make all of the above things available where ever I want using my own self hosted domain.
run my own dns

In the long term I also want to be able to host my own webapps, since I will soon start to develop one for someone.

Now I want to know what suggestions do you have, for stuff thats really cool and that I can selfhost.

Edit: thanks for all the replies. Definitely going to look into this.

              You want to go from the bottom of that list up. Do the boring before the fun or you'll have to redo the fun to make it work right with the boring.
PiHole. (After backups, before media apps)

Second this.

And I'll add DietPi is great, easy to run wherever you want. I run it in its own VM on my ESXi box.

I would look into PiHole vs AdGuard home. Lots of people are locked in on PiHole, but they never tried the other and AdGuard is currently more user friendly and easier to use than PiHole. Not starting a flame war here, everyone will have different view, just look at PiHole vs Adguard home and make your own decision (or try both).
