Useful apps to self-host (lemmy.world)

I am setting up my NAS right now, and I need some suggestions for apps that I can run on my NAS or self-host.

I have seen some online articles, but they are too confusing because they list too many apps for each category.
I want backup apps for iOS, Android, Mac and Windows. (It would be great if they could back up automatically).
I want to sync my calendars and contacts.
I want to download media like TV shows and movies. (And music, too). “Of course, only legal obtained from the internet cough.”
I want apps that let me access my data from anywhere.
I saw this cool thing where you could use a Raspberry Pi to access your NAS bios from your PC.

I'm also loving Nextcloud for a simple way to do a bunch of simple things. Installing with AIO wasn't so hard (though I plan to migrate to NixOS someday), and it introduces me to a bunch of things I can do (such as making links for shared folders with random people, no login required for them) without my having to learn a ton different specialised things.

Most of what I want to do I feel in principle there should be a better way (e.g. syncthing plus a web-frontend file server) but there's always a weak point somewhere.

Especially that Nextcloud had decent apps for both Android and iPhone.

True, it's a bit slow, takes most of my low-budget VPS's memory, and doesn't always work the way I'd like etc. but it's great for me for now.

I'm already on nixos, so nextcloud is not a pain anymore

I'm fully agree on all the points you mentioned

I run nextcloud on a es i9 with so much ram I don't remember how much exactly, 32 or 64

P.s. I believe the future of selfhosted cloud is based on syncthing, has some e2e encryption, and vpn integrated

We need some more volunteers to run relays :-)

Ed: or maybe ipv6 will solve everything one day
