I was gifted a new Raspberry Pi. I already have a previous pihole setup and now looking for other ideas to run on my network.

I was considering a network monitoring tool. Any other suggestions?

    Everything hosted on an old spare Asus gaming laptop (8 years old) via docker. I’m slowly thinking to invest in a N100 as more advanced routing capabilities and VM for my docker containers. Right now I can access all my services via Wireguard but want to expend it to make it available over my network.

    Please don’t go the RaspberryPi route for serious self-hosting, you’ll regret it later when you’ll realize it’s not powerful enough for ie NextCloud. It can handle PiHole for example (minus digging through the historical logs / stats via its interface), but when adding more and more services (Nextcloud, Jellyfin, a VPN, home automation, etc), it will be easier to expand via VMs (Proxmox) / Docker on a single machine that you need to maintain, you’d have easier snapshot backups, single point for firewall rules, etc, than adding RPIs. Buy a mini server, you’ll have flexibility, room for upgrade, and the costs and power consumption will be justified when scaling to multiple services.

    PiHole, Jellyseerr, Radarr, Sonarr, Emby, Syncthing, Homepage, Home Assistant, and Snipe-IT.

    PiHole is self explanatory.

    Jellyseerr, Radarr, Sonarr, Syncthing and Emby are used for media management and streaming, alongside a remote seedbox.

    Homepage is a locally hosted browser landing page with widgets for network monitoring.

    Home Assistant for locally hosted home automation controls.

    Snipe-IT for asset management. Way overkill for a home user, but it’s free to self-host. Make sure all my assets are listed, can upload receipts, photos warranty info, manufacturer info, etc. so it’s a single place to find all of that information if I ever need it.
