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.

That being said: backing up to a single, central, local location and then syncing those backups to some offsite location can actually be very efficient (and avoids having to spread the credentials for whatever off-site storage you use to multiple devices).
I should have written “your only backup”, obviously it can’t hurt to have both.
