    I’m not sure you’re asking a question.

    Software for what? Does this setup do what you need? Leave it alone if so.

      Like what are the essentials you have that are very handy in any situation

        Why even worry about that? Solve for things you need solved for. Don’t worry about what everyone else is doing for their own reasons. You’ll drive yourself crazy.

        These are tools, not a lifestyle. Don’t let anyone tell you any different.

          100%. When it comes to self-hosting, or anything really, be a minimalist. For your sake, and for the sake of whoever might need to maintain things when you’ve leave this earth.

            Eh, there’s something to be said for experimental periods in my view. Sometimes you try out new programs that you wouldn’t think would be useful but end up becoming essential. And then culling mercilessly anything that turns out to be not useful, or overly complex to maintain, reducing your maintenance burden.

              For sure, if the need calls for it, that works well.

              But looking for random things to install and maintain without an actual need creates so many issues.
