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.

    For the downloading media part:

    The *arr stack is what you’re looking for + Jellyfin for streaming (Opensource, 100% free, and much better than Plex).

    Prowlarr: manage your indexers

    Radarr: find/automatically download movies

    Sonarr: find/automatically download tv shows

    Jellyfin: streaming your media

    Look up trashguides for setting up all this stuff, very detailed guides. They are compatible with torrents and Usenet. I like using docker with portainer for easy management and if you use a VPN container you can selectively route these containers through the VPN so your other services that dont require the VPN dont need to route through it.
