In terms of most used for me, it would be:

Nextcloud: contains my contacts, calendar, and photos synced with my phone, as well as access to files on my server from any web browser.
Home assistant: both automated and remote control of your lights, thermostat, etc.
Audiobookshelf: only really useful if you have an audiobook collection
Vault Warden: self-hosted bitwarden. Not really all that important to self-host, since a bit warden's clients are open source.
Frigate: only useful if you have security cameras.
Navidrome: only useful if you have a music collection.
Jellyfin: only useful if you have a movie / TV collection.

Gonna also throw in: Nextcloud Memories.

It makes the photo organizing part of NextCloud AMAZING. I'm so happy I got to dump Google Photos for good.

Audiobookshelf also supports podcasts (and ebooks, but I haven't tested that).

Cool, I didn't know. Going to try it out.

Podcasts are my primary use case (my partner uses audiobooks exclusively), and while it works rather well, I want to put in the caveat that there's no working playlist functionality in the app, and IME headset controls don't work from FF for Android.

That's not a deal breaker for me, but it was a massive disappointment when I switched over. But the lack of playlist functionality in the app only annoys me when I want to follow one of the shorter news feeds, since I have to stop and select the next track every 5 min as the episode ends. No issue with that feed from the browser, so meh.

Works great through my reverse proxy/cloudflare tunnel setup, so not too many actual complaints.

Do you have any experience with the dedicated Audiobookshelf app?
