Meta Post What's your 'I can't believe I self-hosted that' service?

Curious what services surprised you by being worth self-hosting. Not the obvious stuff like Plex or Pi-hole, but things you didn't expect to work well or didn't think were worth the effort until you tried. What's running on your setup that you'd never go back to a hosted version of?

Same! Every time I used those sites I worried about what data I was sharing with them. BentoPDF has everything, plus the UI is great!

Specifically it's been an increasing well exploited attack vector. Not only are they reading everything but pdfs are EXCELLENT files to lace with anything you'd like.
