Alright so my lab is pretty much functionally complete; it does everything I was hoping it would and much more.
OK so now what :D Do you know of any projects that are self-hostable and serve no functional purpose whatsoever and exist just for fun? Could be silly projects, could be games. I’d like to add a “silly things” section to my publicly facing list of web services.
For instance, I was thinking of hosting a web version of nethack. Also I enjoyed hosting a node of hypermind for a little while just because it was so silly.

Game servers? https://linuxgsm.com/. Have an Unreal Tournament 99… tournament with friends.
Oh that’s cool, thanks.
thats an awesome suggestion @dan@upvote.au +1
they have cs, as well.
@OP post your server IP, I’ll come play
https://romm.app/ - Self hosted game ROM manager that lets you play retro games directly in the browser (using RetroArch cores compiled to WebAssembly).
https://retroassembly.com/ is a similar project.
There’s also https://gamevau.lt/ which is like a self-hosted version of Steam, for DRM-free games (like from GOG).
I like this but since it’s on my own domain i’m going to refrain from illegal stuff.
Password protect it and just let friends use it? Or have it just for yourself :D
There are lots of game servers you can run. I highly recommend Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart. (Yes, that’s a terrible name, but it’s a very fun game.)
A website/blog
I keep thinking making a magic mirror would be such a project…
I think I read recently about some emulator portal you can selfhost, would that be silly enough? Requires you to acquire ROMs though.
I just posted a comment about this :D
