Self-Hosting: Toolkit

I've recently been going down the rabbit hole of self-hosting more and more things and avoiding those dreaded monthly subscriptions. The way I see it, every $ that I don't pay to a third-party is a $ that I can put into my own pocket.

I use most of these tools on a day to day basis. Some I still plan to start using. The lists starts with Coolify, which is the catalyst that made it possible for me to start self-hosting, so I would definitely check them out.
