I'm running a simple COMAI instance on my desktop that recommends linux commands and does limited chat. it was easy. It spins the processor up to 50% to give a response and takes a couple of seconds depending on complexity. I run the other stuff on a dedicated server, but with nginx proxy manager, I can send the COMAI instance to a page on my domain even though it is on a different computer on my LAN.
It isn't nearly as much fun a building a dedicated server, (or what I like to do -- repurpose old junk) but the services you mentioned will run just fine on a decent desktop or laptop, especially if you aren't doing some hungry task while they are running. -1 for Plex. +1 for Jellyfin.
You can run them all on your LAN and access them around the house by the machine's LAN IP and the services' port number.
You can do the same thing if you have tailscale on your phone or other remote computer, just use the tailscale IP and the service's port.
You can use Nginx Proxy Manager to send your services through a cloudflared tunnel to a hostname you buy, and keep access limited to just yourself and a select few (FYI I hear Cloudflared doesn't like a lot of video streaming, so don't give access to too many folks).
Jellyfin will run on a windows machine without screwing with docker, and will host your music too, though the UI isn't great.
You can use a simple fileserver on windows to host other stuff like pics.
Just start somewhere and you'll be neck-deep before you know it.

I don't understand the tone of this comment. Family link is voluntary. It is lame, yes, and it is just barely useful, but it offers some handy controls if you want to limit what your kid can access on an android device. It would be preferable for me to have a good kiosk mode, but I haven't seen anything that met my needs.
It is frustrating though, I have several old phones that are in good shape. It would be nice to give them a job. There might be one or two that boot without a battery.
I'm so close to doing this. Cloudflare makes me nervous. Have you heard of Rathole? That was recommended to basically do what my cloudflared tunnel is already doing. The only trouble I could see was I was going to have to keep the cloudflared access controls.
Yes. Obviously. Ivan, it's hilarious you posted this in this thread because it is a top 5 russian psy-op talking point. Did you get your tabs mixed up? I'm shocked the Russians have been able to continue fighting with prolapsed rectums.
With unprecedented temps in excess of 106 F, running a couple of old lenovo desktops is nothing compared to my AC bill.

Whills would need a wacky voice. you know, for the kids.
Totally just a coincidence how much this idiocy benefits Russia.
nothing. will. happen.
"fuck over my kids to own the libs." It all started with that c7nt Nixon.
Obviously. They needed a spin-off because the New Testament has so few talking animals.
or just buy a minipc for $130 from Ebay.

it happens to every one of them eventually. Wonder what really causes it?
I think there is a way to fool it by soldering a jumper on the battery contacts. Probably varies from phone-to-phone.
"Yes officuw, he hurted my feewings"
THAT'S HEDLEY! oh wait no it isn't
Such a babe.
yawn m'okay

Is that a "you made me do this to you" excuse? That is asinine. Russian bots are the dumbest bots.

Choosing the lesser of two evils by definition leaves you with -checks notes- LESS EVIL. Fuck me is there anyone on this sub more than 12 years old?
