Thinking of self-hosting some basic tools; SearxNG, Bitwarden, Lemmy.

What kind of tools are you self-hosting right now? Which ones are easy to manage, which ones are awkward? 👀

              Nextcloud. Not too complex but I feel like it's getting heavier month by month and I'm scared of having it turn into full-fledged bloatware. It already has an autoplaying video in the about screen so the slope is getting ever so much slippier...
Forgejo, swapped from Gitea just a while ago. They're more or less identical but I have stronger trust in Codeberg
Nitter
Some half-assed nginx build with nginx-http-flv so I can stream stuff between friends. It works OK but it feels like there's newer better options, I just haven't cared to look into it
Weird half-assed email setup that does conform to all funky modern bells and whistles somehow despite being an unholy mixture of Postfix, rspamd, Dovecot and Maddy. I'm scared to touch any part of it. Not used for anything too overly serious
Headless qBittorrent but I don't think I've actually used it in years

Good thing about nextcloud is almost all its features are implemented as separate individual plugins. You can just disable whatever built-in plugins you don't need. Heck, you can disable ALL plugins and it'll become a really lightweight selfhosted cloud storage system. Contacts? Photo Gallery? Calendar? Chat and voice calls with conferencing support (wtf?! do they want to become a google meet competitor)? Disable all of them if you don't need them.
