Hi I recently got a server running ubuntu from my dad, i have no idea
where i can use this for or how. Any suggestions for starting
projects?

I was also thinking about making a music bot for my discord server on
which i can play songs from youtube/soundcloud since all music bots
suck. Is this achievable with a server? and if so can anyone send me
any leads on where to start

Here is a very comprehensive list: [https://github.com/awesome-

Personally, I have a stack of around 20 applications running under
Docker, of those a few important ones - media streaming (Plex), home
automation (Home Assistant), DNS (Adguard Home) and ARR stack (Radarr,
Sonarr etc).

Before the days of ubiquitous internet on phones this is how I
listened to my music on the school computers.

Start off with email.  Don't forget to only allow ingress via a VPS
via VPN, disable SSH and make sure you have at least 8tb storage and
192gb RAM.  Place everything behind reverse proxy and ensure no SSH
access.

​

just kidding.  Absolutely do not get too concerned out of the gate on
perfection.

​

Best thing to start out with is something that provides value to you.
That could be Plex, or Airsonic.

Backup and document configs - be prepared to rebuild EVERYTHING at any
time.

​

I'd recommend either learning docker or if your PC has the beef
getting good with VM's so that you can avoid reinstalling your core
system when something breaks one service, you aren't
rebuilding/resetting 5.

Take a slow approach to web access.
