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.

Theres so many. Check out the awesome list: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted
I think your stategy should be one service at a time. Do everything in docker, and start by tackling a simpler service. For example, you should try paperless-ngx. Absolute game changer. I didnt realize how much managing ny own directory structure sucked until I used this. Then, grow your service list more and more!
This is a fantastic list I’ve bookmarked, thanks. But I do want to highlight OP’s first point where it says:
…they are too confusing because they list too many apps for each category.
Might be a little more beneficial for OP to highlight a couple useful for their use case that are fairly beginner friendly? I’d do it but I’m basically in the same boat as OP right now, lol
