From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm running a few on my NAS:
Taiga to manage projects. It's as easy and pleasant to use as Trello, but with velocity/burndown charts and the whole "agile" thing, but you can also turn parts of it on and off (per project even).
Trilium completely cured me of messy note-taking habits, simply by winning on the convenience side. I was firmly in the "folder tree of markdown documents" and "my Sublime Text tabs of random notes have no number" camp before.
I'm considering Habitica which lets you set up rewards and achievements for your real life (i.e. apply addictive reward/progress loop from video games to motivate your real self to do things). Also Wger for exercise tracking, but I'm not sure they're the right thing for my ticket/tracking-averse self (I wish there was something that covered the whole MyFitnessPal/FitDay and the whole Polar Personal Trainer/Garmin Connect side, but FOSS and self-hosted).
For leisure, I also run Stash (it bills itself as an organizer for your porn library, but it's really good for any kind of clips), Jellyfin for my music and movies and currently both Mango and Kavita for books and comics.
What kind of build do you have for a NAS? How expensive does that look?
I'm not up-to-date with current NAS systems anymore -- I'm running an older QNAP NAS (TS-453), and it has their proprietary "Container Station" which can run web applications in Docker + LXD containers. Not FOSS, though the containers very much are and can be moved to other systems.
As an alternative, FreeNAS/TrueNAS sells NAS systems where at least the software side is FOSS. They're quite expensive, though.
The prices of other brands also quickly breach silly levels, but a basic 2-bay NAS is about ~$250 for QNAP, ~$200 for Synology and ~$1000 for a TrueNAS. Without hard drives.
If you're not interested in the data storage side, a Mini PC w/Proxmox (popular Docker/LXD container engine w/browser-based management) or even a direct install on a Raspberry PI are possible for under $100.
You could try
Liftosaur for exercise routines (it has script language even) and can also track body measurements.
waistline as a substitute for myfitnesspal or cronometer
Nomie for tracking habits, mood, activities and many more
All these apps are FOSS
These are really useful suggestions, thanks!
Particularly excited about Trillium. I'm current trying Joplin but labour and time reflect and organize the noted means I'm rarely using it effectively.
Habitica sounds interesting. I definitely feel I need something like that. My struggle sometimes is in splitting projects into bitesize chunks (some are easier than others) some of my work can be quite open ended thought projects. I get caught in a trap of doing the easier work to plan work (like coding) rather than necessarily the most urgent.
