My primary purpose was to host my own music server. Have tonnes od CDs and what not and ripped them all onto a media server. This then evolved to Navidrome, then Airsonic. It's like having your own, private Spotify. More music you add, woot.
Then, I wanted my DVD/Blueray collection on a server. A simple HTTP server hosts these, and Kodi both accesses them, and offers them up via uPnP for local hosts.
Then there are backups. A small NAS for these. Samba, SFTP, FTPS and even HTTP(s) upload capabilities.
Then using the web server to host some HTML generated from say Cron, to show stats of stuff.
The a logcat server. So everything can log to a central place.
An internal mail server, so local hosts can email their logs to the central logger. Weird some can email, but not syslog.
Then some influxdb to offload metrics from routers and hosts. Then a pretty dashboard from Chronograph and what not.

Everything else after, is just gravy.
