Agreed, switch the applications first. I like using https://alternativeto.net/ to find replacements.

As others have said, Nextcloud for files/calendar and Tailscale for VPN is your answer.
Nextcloud can be installed in several ways, one of which is Docker Compose. Docker Compose is flexible but requires learning a bit, although you can use it for most self-hosted software.
We’ve integrated a new REST API and embedded web server directly into the pihole-FTL binary. This eliminates the need for lighttpd and PHP, reducing the installation footprint and boosting performance.
Very nice!
I think it's cool you're trying to find ways to get into this. If the goal is to learn, why not deploy the services on your laptop? They won't be available when the computer is off of course, but you would still get the full experience. Even a low-spec laptop will be better than a cheap VPS.
I love XCOM and have tried a few of those games. Into the Breach is one of my all-time favorites. It captures the thoughtful, turn-based decision-making of XCOM but admittedly lacks the base building, graphics, and most of the leveling up, to name a few things.
