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.

Also, privacy-wise, what do you guys use to keep your home server anonymous/hidden and protected? Is VPN enough? If yes, what VPN do you recommend?
I’m using wireguard but I hear a lot of good things about tailscale.
Tailscale is a mesh VPN. Its a level of abstraction passed a regular VPN, lime wireguard or OpenVPN. Tailscale uses wireguard under the hood.
Totally go with Tailscale, can’t stress how nice it is.
How does it compare with a VPN?
This article explains it better than I could
