What else could i host for friends and family?

Hi,
I have been hosting some things for friends/family (not planning to host for randoms due to my TOS beeing abused as soon as people read it...)
Mainly Paperless with tripple daily independent backups, offline backups and i also offer google/s3 to the person's account. I basically made sure the data is redundant and not really dependent on me or on host X or Y existing. Shit can really hit the fan and data should exist.
plus paperless AI (chatgpt/local model)
also got a Windows VM for a friend for twitch streams and other things
I dont offer full VPS experience or anything for tech savvy people (unless you want only backups from me, then can offer that) but basically fully managed apps by me, i deal with backups, updated and security.
Was thinking to offer bitwarden but we all use 1password family and that's easier and more lucritive to me. Plus the person can harass 1password support instead of me.
what else could i host that makes sense for people ? google drive alternative didn't take off, was pretty expensive anyways... paperless solves a real problem here in germany.
Windows VM does not fit many due to performance (or rather, lack off)
ideas?

Immich.
it's garbage, ente-photos all the way:
https://ente.com/compare/ente-vs-immich/
was thinking about it, would need to figure out encryption, as people are paranoid (understandable!)
with paperless, people don't care about me reading documents
nudes? oh, they do
so no clue how to implement it, but yeah... app exists etc.
Pornhub clone.
will have a look, but interesting, would still somehow need to make sure i can't access the pictures
people would love it, prob worth it just for me, sadly haven't found one
or @totally_not_banned we can re-create all porn on phub if you down?
With Ente you cannot, so better from privacy perspective.
This is why it's called end-to-end encryption. The files are encrypted before they are uploaded. Each user has a set of own keys. The client app is managing it transparently.
so even with myself having full access to the VM/LXC, i can't access the data? then it's gucci i guess
VPN
DNS Ad Filtering (AdGuard Home)
Seedbox/Torrenting
Plex/Jellyfin
changedetection.io can be useful.
Some sort of tool like a pastebin or pomf clone.
Maybe something social like a chat or mastodon.
Nextcloud
Maybe jitsi
Some of my favorite:
ArchiveBox: self hosted web archiver
Actual: finance manager
Beszel and Uptime Kuma: server and uptime monitoring
AppFlowy: Notion alternative
Cal.com: appointment scheduling, just rug pulled the entire community❤️
StirlingPDF: doing things with PDF, might works well with Paperless.
Shlink: link shortener
Edit: forgot about My Idlers, LET's favourite 🤓.
