You have plenty of options. I use Unraid because I bought it before it became a subscription. But I have a friend running Fedora server with Cockpit and running everything from docker containers. The options are endless. ProxMox is a great choice.

I just use Syncthing with versioning, and that’s how I manage all my files and their versions.

That alone is a document management and file versioning system without the overkill of Nextcloud (which is debatable).

Jellyfin. I’ve been waiting for Plex to do this for years. Enshitification is everywhere.

You asked for a podcast client, so here’s AntennaPod.

I have it on auto backup and share the backup with all my other devices over Syncthing.

No need to self-host anything.
