Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

You sound like you want to go all in on federated services but there are plenty of other things to do.
I love Nextcloud, works well when set up through the Nextcloud All In One docker setup, but it is a little different to other things so it might not be a starting point depending on your experience. Lots of apps to add for extra functionality. But don't replace your cloud storage with it until you're confident of your backups (and ability). I ran it for years to use for the apps and minor things before I finally went all in.
I think a wiki is a great thing to have. Use it to document what you've done so you can remember.
Then there's media. With the storage I guess TV/movies might be out, but there's Audiobookshelf for Audiobooks, Kavita or Calibre Web for eBooks. I like Jellyfin for music (but using the Finamp app not the Jellyfin one), but others like dedicated music setups like Navidrone.
I buy my music from Bandcamp where available and Qobuz where it's mainstream labels, then I can have my own little Spotify. Finamp even lets you download playlists or your whole library to your device for offline listening. I use Findroid for watching things, which also allows downloading. Last I checked the Jellyfin app didn't have Netflix-like downloading, just downloading the files to your downloads folder.
I guess you might not fit a whole lot with 300GB storage though, especially after you fit the databases of half a dozen federated services.
If you have space, perhaps a photo service like Immich or Photoprosm.
If you have friends maybe a private sharing forum like Zusam.
If you have family then maybe family tree software like webtrees.
I run so many things, they all get used, and I'm always happy to talk about them!
