    I'm not one of the homelab people, but I'm a homelab person (if you know what I mean). I have a rack in my garage running vSphere 6, a homebrewed NAS, pfSense etc. I don't really do containerisation; having vSphere means that most of my workloads are actual VMs. I run:

    • Plex (we're heavily into cordcutting)
    • Nextcloud
    • Bitwarden
    • Unifi controller
    • Unifi NVR (for security cameras)
    • Puppet server
    • A 6-server Microsoft lab for work-related sandboxing

    Backups are a mixture of striped across physical disks that I rotate into the office (Plex media) and encrypted then uploaded to an Azure blob container (everything else).

    Another vote for Bitwarden -- I pay for it (primarily to support good software) and self host. It just works, and beats the pants off my previous solution (a cobbled together Javascript page that would hash together a master password and site URL).

    It has a "family/organisation" setting which allows you to share some or all of your passwords; at some point I intend to turn this into a dead man's switch so my wife gets all of my passwords if I croak. She can live without my bank account access, but if our Plex instance breaks and she can't get in to fix it there'll be posthumous hell to pay!
