Useful apps to self-host (lemmy.world)

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.

Due to some concerns about Gitea's future I would recommend Forgejo instead. It's a drop-in replacement with less concerning contribution policies and management structure.

What are those concerns? Why is it relevant to self-hosting?

Is it like the rumor that the Lemmy devs are pro-Russia or whatever it was about?

Honestly asking, here. Not trying to start a flame war, just want to know whether to bother to care about this.

Gitea is managed by a for profit which is now offering a hosting service. That alone is already a conflict of interest because one of Giteas core features is the easy self hosting.

Then the contribution guidelines have been made stricter, anyone contributing now has to give up their copyright to the gitea management, meaning they could change the opensource license to a stricter one down the line without requiring community consent.

The concern is that as time passes features will be locked behind a premium tier for self-hosters or the self-hosting itself will be made more difficult in an effort to push their cloud service.

I’ve been using Forgejo for about 6 months now and I’m really impressed with it. Covers all my needs!
