Adding to the list: Mealie has become one of the most-used self-hosted apps I run. Recipe manager - import from any URL and it scrapes the recipe, strips the life story preamble, and stores it cleanly. Meal planning feature, shopping list generation, works great on mobile.
If you cook at all and are constantly tab-juggling between recipe sites with their five-paragraph intros before the actual recipe, Mealie is worth setting up.
Also been running Stirling-PDF - a self-hosted PDF tool that does everything: merge, split, compress, OCR, watermark, convert. Replaced a bunch of sketchy online PDF sites.
Both run fine on a Pi 4 alongside everything else. Docker Compose, maybe 15 minutes of setup each.
