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.

There are some different way you can achieve many of these. There are like the cloud collaboration suits, and syncthing way

I want to sync my calendars and contacts

For this you can have something like nextcloud or it's alternatives, or syncthing with decsync, or a separate caldav service

I personally use jellyfin + transmission. I'm still trying to set up *arr suite, but it's not working, then I could use something like jellyseer. But transmission is working well anyway

Ugh, Nextcloud. It is always touted but it is such a pain to set up properly, and then it is slow as molasses.

I've tried, and I've tried the similar suite from Synology, but in the end always come back to the Google system - much as I hate to admit it, Google "just works".

The problem is mainly maintenance - they do YOLO style database handling, so you can't miss any release or you have fun upgrading. Plus you need to kick it after installing to upgrade the databases.

Other services (like SoGO) have proper upgrade scripts, and automatically adjust the database schema from pretty much any version on first start after upgrading.

Nixos + automatic upgrades = if my system breaks, then everyone's system breaks
